The academic board of the Federal Polytechnic, Ede, Osun state, has allegedly suspended John Adekolawole, the institution’s rector, for sleeping at work.
Speaking at an emergency congress of the union, Adekunle
Masopa, chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) in the
institution, said the board based its decision on 21 grounds.
He said a position paper was submitted to the union by the
board after its meeting.
“We tried to intervene, but members of the academic board
said they had taken a decision and that their decision would stand,” Masopa
said.
“They, however, said a position paper would be communicated
to us. The said position paper has been communicated to us.
“The following are some of the reasons adduced for the
action: one, flagrant dereliction of duty by absconding from office for about a
month. Two, the desecration of the highly respected office of the rector with
the creation of a bedroom furnished with a king-size bed which has made it
possible for him to be sleeping at work.
“Improper improvisation of dual award programme of National
Diploma plus NCE (Nigeria Certificate in Education) programme in collaboration
with a consultant.”
