Obafemi Awolowo University Student President Suspended (See Why)

The leadership of the Student Union Government of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, has suspended its President, Mr. Omotayo Akande, from office for allegedly seeking funds from the university authorities.

The suspension is to last for one month.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Student Representative Council comprising the SUG Speaker, Adebari Adedayo; Clerk of the House, Ogunkanmi Omotayo; and Deputy Speaker, Olowofoyehan Oluseun, on Monday.

According to the statement, Akande wanted to obtain N650,000 from the authorities to attend a conference in New York, United States of America.

The suspended president’s move, the council said, breached its oath of office.

Attempts to get Akande’s response failed as calls put across to his telephone did not go through.
