A Professor of Geo-Technical Engineering, Adefemi Bello has been appointed as the acting Vice-Chancellor of Osun State University, Osogbo.
This followed the expiration of the tenure of Professor Labo Popoola, which ends tomorrow, Thursday, November 4, 2021.
Announcing the appointment, the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Council, Uniosun, Mallam Yusuf Alli, SAN, said the appointment takes effect from Friday, November 5, 2021.
Professor Bello was the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Administration and Development before his appointment.
The appointment, according to Alli, was to avoid a vacuum in the university administration following the litigation that compel the council to put on hold the process of appointing a substantive Vice Chancellor for the school.
The Nigeria Medical Association, NMA, and seven other professors had sued the school management over its advertisement that only candidates with a doctorate degree can vie for the Vice Chancellor’s office of the school, thereby putting its members at disadvantage.
