Embattled Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe has headed for court over his purported removal from office by the Chief Wale Babalakin led- Governing Council.
Ogundipe argued the Council breached all known rules of natural justice and section 36 of the 1999 Constitution in purportedly removing him as VC, as he was never heard at all or ever made to face any panel or Committee to defend himself against allegations of unauthorised expenditure of university funds leading to his purported removal from office.
According to learned silk: “the VC was observed by journalists leaving the venue of the meeting with another Council member, Prof Bola Oboh, when they protested in vain that the main issue for discussion at the emergency meeting was not the VC’s investigation or removal which was item 5 on the agenda but the 2020 budget of the University.
“The Registrar of the University and Secretary to Council, Oladejo Azeez, had immediately published a “Notice to the General Public on the Removal of the Vice Chancellor University of Lagos”.
