The Senate at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) has finally chosen an acting Vice Chancellor for the institution.
Professor Anthony Elujoba of the Faculty of Pharmacy has emerged the acting Vice-Chancellor following a meeting between members of the university senate on Thursday, July 21, 2016.
This came barely 24 hours after the Federal Government ordered the Senate of the school to use its internal mechanism in selecting a new Vice Chancellor.
It will be recalled that the Academic Staff Union of the institution had earlier disagreed with the Senior Staff Association of Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) over the appointment of Prof. Ayobami Salami, who is currently the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academics) as the 11th VC of the university. In a letter addressed to the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission, the President earlier directed the Senate not to consider any of the candidates who earlier contested for the position.
The letter further says the Senate of the university should take immediate steps to implement the directive of the President and report back to the Federal Ministry of Education.
