Ahead the election for the position of Vice Chancellor of University of Ibadan, an education group, Education Governance with Integrity (EGI), has enjoined the Governing Council to disqualify two candidates contesting as Senate Representatives on the Board for the appointment.
The group made the call in a statement on Saturday, October 9, 2021 by the Public Relations Officer, Segun Adebayo.
According to the statement, one Professor P. O. Olapegba and Prof. E. O. Ayoola had been implicated as biased candidates in a petition before the council as routing for a candidate of the immediate past Vice Chancellor, Professor Idowu Olayinka.
The group advised the council led by John Odigie-Oyegun to review the petition against the duo ahead of the October 12 elections in order to get the emergence of the best of the over 15 candidates as jostling to become UI next Vice Chancellor.
