The Governing Council of the University of Lagos on Wednesday announced the sacking of its Vice -Chancellor , Prof. Olawatoyin Ogundipe .

According to Punch Newspapers, the sack was announced at a meeting of the Governing Council of the UNILAG held at the National Universities Commission in Abuja.

While seven members voted for the removal of Ogundipe , four voted against it ; one of them voted that the VC should rather be placed on suspension.

The meeting was chaired by the UNILAG Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of its Governing Council , Dr Wale Babalakin.

The development was confirmed in a statement obtained Punch’s correspondent from the media aide to Babalakin, Mikhail Mumuni.

The statement was signed by the Registrar and Secretary to the Varsity Council, Oladejo Azeez , titled , ‘ Notice To The General Public On The Removal Of The Vice -Chancellor Of The University Of Lagos ’.

It read, “ The general public is hereby notified that at an emergency meeting held on Wednesday , August 12 2020 and in accordance with the statutory powers vested in it by law , the Governing Council of the University of Lagos removed Prof . Oluwatoyin T . Ogundipe , FAS from office as Vice -Chancellor of the University with immediate effect.

“ The decision was based on the council ’s investigation of serious acts of wrongdoing , gross misconduct , financial recklessness and abuse of office against Prof. Oluwatoyin T . Ogundipe , FAS . ”

Efforts to reach Ogundipe proved abortive as of the time of filing this report , as he neither picked nor returned his calls . He also did not respond to a text message sent to him by Punch Newspapers.
