ASUU in a release made available to New Telegraph in Ibadan, signed by its Zonal Chairman, Dr. Ade Adejumo and Chairman of the University of Ibadan Chapter of the Union, Dr Deji Omole maintained that that contrary to a newspaper publication, its chairperson for the University of Ilorin remained Dr Kayode Afolayan, who was illegally sacked by the University of Ilorin administration.
In the release entitled “Re: UNILORIN ASUU Chair Faces Plagiarism Crisis: A Disclaimer”, the zonal ASUU which comprises the University of Ilorin, University of Ibadan, Osun State University, and Ladoke Akintola University, Ogbomoso, said that the Nation Newspaper had in a publication on 25th September, 2018 reported that a certain UNILORIN ASUU Chairman, Dr Usman Adebimpe Raheem, is facing intellectual fraud and plagiarism case.
The release said that “for the avoidance of doubt, Dr. Raheem is not known to ASUU and he is not the Chairman of ASUU UNILORIN branch. Dr. Raheem is an impostor and leader of a renegade group backed by the management of UNILORIN that calls itself ASUU.”
Drs Adejumo and Omole stated that the chairperson of UNILORIN branch of the union was Dr. Kayode Niyi Afolayan whose illegal termination of appointment and that of the branch Secretary, Dr. Solomon Oyelekan by former VC Professor Abdulganiyu Ambali is being contested in court.
“As a union of intellectuals, ASUU does not condone unethical practices and acts of fraud among its members. The union hopes that all the authorities directly concerned and mentioned in the story, especially the University of Ilorin and University of Ibadan, where Dr Raheem obtained his Ph.D that has alleged plagiarised materials, will act immediately on this matter in order to restore sanity to ethical practices and standards in the academia being eroded by this alleged shameful conduct of Dr U.A Raheem”, the release stressed.
