THE senate leadership of the National Association of University Students; has passed a vote of confidence on the Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University of OYE Ekiti under the leadership of Professor Abayomi Fashina.
NAUS senate aimed at juxtaposing on the performance appraisal of the institution, describing his exemplary leadership and open-door policy to students as “highly commendable”.
The Senate Leadership of NAUS under, Comrade Ibrahim Mohammed Lawal, made this known last Wednesday (August 4, 2021) when he paid an unscheduled visit to the University where it engaged all the critical stakeholders in the university, conducted a facility tour, and engaged the Students’ Union Government.
Presenting a letter for the vote of confidence to the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Abayomi Fashina, Comrade Ibrahim noted that Prof. Fashina has a heart for the students and called on other universities to emulate the FUOYE helmsman.
The student leader said, “Nigeria has about 255 higher institutions including Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education and Technologies. Having journeyed through some of these institutions, our methodological research has revealed that Federal and State Government continuously allocate funds to the education sector every year, without those funds having physical impact on the sector especially in terms of structures and facilities on the campuses.”
The visibility study has made us to observe that in some of our institutions, the students fight to secure venue during lecture and examination, because of acute shortage of classrooms, no equipment for practical, Lecturers struggle to get offices spaces, most structures are archaic and dilapidated and new ones are counterfeit. Yet much leadership of these institutions is acting under the pretense of prudency and psychopathy to siphon the fund allocated for educational growth.
“The circumnavigation of National Association of University Students into Federal University Oye Ekiti raised our hope and confidence that Nigeria still lives with leaders of integrity and aspiration that are ready to transform the education sector from mutiny to destiny. Our diligent attention was drawn to the rate of infrastructural and academic development of Federal University of OYE Ekiti under the leadership of Professor Abayomi Fashina which would serve as school of thought for other ininstitutions,” he said
Comrade Ibrahim said, “The development that the University of Oye-Ekiti has witnessed during your administration has stood you out”, adding that the University is second to none in academic excellence, moral discipline and peaceful approach to conflict resolution”.
He tasked the Vice-Chancellor to continue to protect the image of Nigerian students and NAUS saying that the umbrella students’ body is an agent of peace condemning social vices in the society.
Part of the statement read below; “The delegation led by NAUS Senate President Comr Ibrahim Mohammed Lawal had visited the University to have first-hand information of happenings in the university since the resumption of Professor Abayomi Fashina as the substantive Vice-Chancellor of the University and also conducted an on-site assessment of infrastructures in the university. NAUS is greatly impressed by the excellent corporate governance practices the university operates since the assumption of office of Professor Abayomi Fashina which has earned the trust and commendation of staff and students.”
“Let it be noted that all the staff unions in the university also pass a vote of confidence on the Vice-Chancellor and most importantly the Students Union Government gave an excellent testimonial of the performance of the Vice-Chancellor in the area of infrastructural development and prioritizing of student’s welfare. It is therefore expedient to commend the management of the university under the able leadership of Prof Abayomi Fashina for turning the university around within a very short period and operating a very transparent leadership, involving staff unions and students unions in the critical decision-making process of the university. Federal University Oye Ekiti is arguably one of the fastest-growing public universities in Nigeria today given the consistency of leadership and the vision of the current management team of the university.”
“NAUS will continue to cooperate with the university and its leadership to achieve its corporate and academic objectives. We have witnessed unprecedented revolution in the management of the university. All the stakeholders in the university feel involved and carried along and the students which are the most critical stakeholder in the university gave unanimous approval of the great work the Vice-Chancellor is doing in the university.It is therefore imperative to call on all other Vice-Chancellor of Federal Universities in Nigeria to adopt the management model of Prof Abayomi Sunday Fashina in repositioning their universities and improving the welfare of students as we believe this will directly impact scholarship and research.”
“The effort of the Vice-Chancellor to also digitize the university and simply the process of teaching and learning is highly commendable, if there is anything the Covid19 global pandemic has thought us, it is to begin to build alternative processes that will reduce physical contact while still maintaining quality of pedagogy, NAUS will continue to support FUOYE in their technological drive and vision to lead the pace among public institutions in Nigeria. We, therefore, call on all stakeholders in the university to continue to support the management of the university towards its plan to reposition the university in academics, infrastructures, and research.”
“While appreciating the Vice-Chancellor for initiating the building of one of the best students union secretariat in Nigeria for the Students Union Government of the university, we also plead with the management to expedite the work on the site so that our students in the university can be proud of their secretariat.”
“Prof Sunday Abayomi Fashina has demonstrated rare leadership in University administration and consensus-building among stakeholders, we, therefore, pass a vote of confidence on his leadership and encourage him to continue to do more for the development of the university.”, the statement concluded.
In his remarks, the Vice-Chancellor thanked the students’ body for its confidence in his administration, saying that the University of Oye-Ekiti is the home of NAUS.
Pointing out that the University gives premium attention to the students, without students there cannot be a university.
