The management of the Ekiti State University (EKSU) in Ado Ekiti has
sacked one of its lecturers, Olola Aduwo, over the alleged sexual
harassment a female student of the institution.
Aduwo, who works with the institutionโs Department of Accounting, was
relieved of his office after he was found culpable of harassing the
said victim.
The development, which also saw the varsity sack two other lecturers
for abandoning their duty posts, comes after an investigative panel
turned in its findings to EKSUโs senior staff disciplinary committee.
โThe University Governing Council, at its 135th meeting held December
5, 2019, approved the recommendations of the Senior Staff Disciplinary
Committee (Academic) that recommended his dismissal,โ said Bode
Olofinmuagun, an EKSU spokesperson.
While EKSUโs Governing Council stated that the lecturerโs dismissal
would come to effect from October 7, Edward Olanipekun, the
institutionโs vice-chancellor, added that the university would
continue to flush out โbad eggsโ in the system.
Aduwoโs dismissal also comes shortly after EKSU had announced the sack
of over 800 workers following a staff audit. The development affected
workers who assumed office between 2016 and 2018.
โThe Governing Council of Ekiti State University considered the report
of the staff audit carried out by a firm of external auditors
commissioned to undertake general auditing of staff in the
university,โ Olofinmuagun had said.
