Deputy VC sacked over alleged false petition, in Ondo university

Prof Adolphus Loto, the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Administration and Clinical Services of the Ondo state, have been sacked.

This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Assistant Registrar, Public Relations Unit of the institutions, Temitope Oluwatayo.

The assistant Registrar, stated that his sack was due to the adoption and ratification of the Senate decision by the Governing Council at its 22nd Statutory meeting held at the Council Chamber, Medical Village Campus, Ondo.

As claimed by him, “The decision of the Senate was predicated on the former DVC’s unbecoming conduct including frivolous, spurious and unsubstantiated allegations against the University Management.

He said that “The Governing Council had earlier referred Prof. Loto’s 13-page petition as well as the responses of the Vice-Chancellor, the Registrar and the Bursar to the Petitions Committee of Council appointed to investigate and make proper recommendations.

“The Petitions Committee of Council (PCC) found the allegations untrue, baseless, embarrassing to the University community and liable to bring the University to disrepute, given Prof. Loto’s position as the Deputy Vice-Chancellor.

“UNIMED Senate, on Monday, April 29, 2024, considered the report of the PCC and recommended the removal of Prof. Loto as the Deputy Vice-Chancellor by an overwhelming majority with 100% of the voters approving his removal as DVC Admin.

Temitope added that ” The Governing Council thereafter approved the resolution of the University Senate for the removal of Prof. Adolphus Odogun Loto as DVC.
