Ogunsola was elected on Monday by the Senate following the Federal Government’s directive that the former vice chancellor, Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, and Wale Babalakin, pro-chancellor, should recuse themselves from official duties pending the outcome of the report of a visiting panel set up by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Federal Government also directed the senate of the institution to elect an acting vice chancellor for the institution.
This is a great move. I think this man will do more better than the previous one.
