Students of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), have dissociated themselves from a petition by the national leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) against the university’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Abayomi Fasina.
The NANS National President Comrade Olushola Oladoja had written a petition to Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, calling for the immediate sack of Fasina and the university’s Governing Council members over alleged misconducts and other sundry allegations.
But, FUOYE Students Union Government, in a letter dated May 3rd, 2025, jointly signed by its President, Comrade Mary Abiodun and Secretary-General, Comr. Lateef Ife and addressed to the Minister of Education faulted the petition against the university’s management.
The students body who described the petition as malicious, baseless and pure lies lacking any modicum of fact, said the petition was the handiwork of some individuals who seek to destabilize the university.
The SUG explained that the allegations contained in the petition neither reflect the current realities within the university community nor the collective sentiment of the students.
The students body stated that VC had been exonerated of allegations of sexual harassment levelled against him after thorough investigation by the Police and university’s governing council.
It added that the students, contrary to the allegations in the petition that they were being subjected to harassment and intimidation, have been enjoying support from the university’s management which has fostered conducive learning space and academic excellence.
The letter reads in part “We wish to state, unequivocally and without prejudice, that the allegations contained in the said petition neither reflect the lived realities within our university nor the collective sentiment of the student population.
“As the local student union with firsthand experience of institutional engagements and administrative developments, we find the petition to be highly misleading, politically coloured, and grossly unrepresentative of actual events and dynamics within FUOYE.
“It is apparent that the current leadership of NANS has, regrettably, allowed itself to be entangled in external manipulation, resulting in dissemination of unfounded accusations targeting Professor Fasina and Chairman of the Governing Council, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba We view this as a deliberate attempt to malign the leadership of our great institution and to destabilise ongoing progress achieved under their stewardship.
“In setting the record straight, we wish to highlight the following key clarifications: The accusation involving Engr. Folashade Adebayo and the Vice-Chancellor has been thoroughly investigated by both the Nigeria Police and a duly constituted panel of the Governing Council. In both cases, Prof. Fasina was exonerated of all allegations. As student representatives, we have reviewed the reports and affirm our confidence in the integrity and transparency of the investigative processes.
“Financial Administration: Under Prof. Fasina’s leadership, the university has witnessed commendable improvements in academic expansion, infrastructure development, staff welfare, and campus security. There exist no credible audit reports or findings suggesting financial impropriety on the part of the administration.
At no point have members of Students’ Union been subjected to harassment or intimidation by the university. On the contrary, we have enjoyed collaboration and institutional support, all in the interest of student advancement and harmonious governance.
“In light of the foregoing, we respectfully request that the Honourable Minister to kindly” disregard the petition submitted by the NANS leadership, as it is devoid of credibility, factual merit, and legitimate representation; Recognise the Students’ Union Government of FUOYE as the authentic and democratically elected voice of the student body within the institution;
“Uphold the findings of the Governing Council’s investigative panel as the legitimate basis for decision-making on all matters referenced; Safeguard our university from unwarranted political interference, external manipulation, and media sensationalism aimed at undermining its leadership and institutional integrity.
“As student leaders committed to justice, transparency, and the welfare of our constituents, we shall not stand idly by while misinformation is weaponised to discredit the progress of our university. We choose the path of truth, accountability, and stability in the best interest of FUOYE and the Nigerian educational sector at large”, it added.
