Neither the ousted Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe nor Acting Vice Chancellor Prof Theophilus Soyombo showed up in the Vice Chancellor’s office on the 12th floor of the Senate building of the institution on Monday.Since Ogundipe’s removal was announced last Wednesday, he has challenged the institution’s Governing Council, claiming he was still Vice-Chancellor.
When journalists learnt Soyombo was not in the Senate building, he was traced to his department, Sociology, in the Faculty of Social Sciences.One Mr. Odetola Philips, who claimed to be his Personal Assistant, later told journalists the Ag. Vice-Chancellor would speak to the press on Wednesday.
“The position of our congress is that the procedures for the removal of the vice chancellor and indeed the appointment of an acting vice chancellor have not been obeyed. “Some of my members supported the decision and some kicked against it. We are going to review our position on the issue,” he said.
