Friday Omosola
After one year of acting as the Vice-Chancellor of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, professor Olugbenga Ige has been appointed as the 6th substantive VC of the university.
This was made known in a press release by the Chief Press Secretary to the Ondo State Governor, Richard Olatunde.
The release followed the approval of his appointment by the Governor, Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu(SAN)
The release reads, "Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has approved the appointment of Professor Ige E. Olugbenga as the substantive Vice-Chancellor of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko".
Ige's appointment takes effect from Wednesday, 7th July 2021 for one term of five years.
The circular further stated that the approval was in line with the exercise of governor power under Paragraph 3 (8) of Schedule 1 of Adekunle Ajasin University Law.
However, the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Olugbenga Ale, noted that the VC's appointment came after the governor had found him qualified among others who jostled for the position.
His closest counterparts were Professor Temi Ologunorisa of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, and Professor Oluyemisi Adebowale of Adekunle Ajasin University.
It continues, "A letter conveying the appointment of the new Vice-Chancellor addressed to the University’s Chancellor and Chairman of Council and signed by the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Chief Olugbenga Ale, indicated that Governor Akeredolu approved Prof. Olugbenga’s appointment having been found appointable."
Also, Governor Akeredolu assured the university's community of the commitment of his administration to prioritizing home-grown eggheads for effective management of the institution.
Moreover, he congratulated the Professor while charging him to work assiduously for the development of the institution.
