Osun College of Education to begin sitting Monday

The panel set up by Governor Ademola Adeleke to look into the crisis at the Osun State College of Education, Ila, will meet on Monday to expedite action towards finding a lasting resolution to the beleaguered institution.

This announcement was contained in a statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, on Thursday.

DAILY POST recalled that earlier in the week, the chairman of the College Governing Council, Elder Peter Babalola, suspended the college’s provost, Prof. Jimoh Afolabi, for financial misappropriation.

Due to the disagreement, the state government has to wade in and set up a three-man panel to look into the disagreement and offer lasting solutions.

“The panel, which is headed by the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Alhaji Kazeem Akinleye, is concerned by the attitude of parties involved in the crisis so far and has directed a stop to further media appearances on the issue pending the conclusion of its assignment.

According to the statement: “The panel observed that aside from the undue personal attacks that the media appearance has so far generated, the government is concerned about the damage to the integrity and reputation of the college.

“Ahead of the Monday meeting, the panel assures the public of its fairness and firmness in conducting its assignment. The committee reiterated the directive of Mr Governor that there will be no cover-up and that no sacred cow scenario will be allowed.”

The statement added that members of the public should rest assured that anyone found culpable will be referred by the panel to the appropriate authority for punishment.
