The Vice-Chancellor of University of Lagos (UNILAG), Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe has debunked news of his removal from office.
He however said that he remains the vice chancellor of the institution.
He confirmed it in a statement signed by him on Wednesday.
Following an earlier announcement by the UNILAG Registrar’s, of the Governing Council’s decision to remove him, Ogundipe said the removal was a figment of the Registrar’s imagination.
The statement titled: “Notice to the General Public on the Removal of the Vice Chancellor, University of Lagos by Oladejo Azeez, Esq” reads:
“The attention of the University of Lagos (Unilag) management has been drawn to the ‘Notice to the General Public on the Removal of the Vice Chancellor, University of Lagos’; dated August 12, 2020 and signed by Oladejo Azeez, Esq, Registrar and Secretary to Council, stating that the current Vice Chancellor, Professor Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe has been removed from office with immediate effect.
“This is untrue and a figment of his imagination. Therefore, stakeholders of UNILAG and the general public are advised to disregard this mischievous disinformation about the sitting Vice Chancellor of UNILAG, contained in that notice. Professor Ogundipe still remains UNILAG’s Vice Chancellor.”
