The Rector of the Federal Polytechnic, Ede in Osun State, John Adekolawole, has been suspended for creating a bedroom in his office.
The Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP), Adekunle Masopa, said that Adekolawole’s suspension was based on 21 violations.
He explained, “We tried to intervene, but members of the academic board said they had taken a decision and that their decision would stand.
“They, however, said a position paper would be communicated to us. The said position paper has been communicated to us.
“The following are some of the reasons adduced for the action: one, flagrant dereliction of duty by absconding from office for about a month. Two, the desecration of the highly respected office of the rector with the creation of a bedroom furnished with a king-size bed which has made it possible for him to be sleeping at work.
“Improper improvisation of dual award programme of National Diploma plus NCE (Nigeria Certificate in Education) programme in collaboration with a consultant.”
