JUST IN: LASU Removes Student Affairs Dean Over Certificate Racketeering Allegations
Prof. Tajudeen Olumoko, the dean of student affairs, has been dismissed from Lagos State University, Ojo.
This follows the publication of a news report by an internet platform (not The Metro Lawyer) regarding alleged racketeering at the university.
The report alleged that a certificate racketeering syndicate offered authentic Lagos State University certificates for anywhere from N2 million to N3 million to interested parties, depending on the intricacy of the subject in issue.
Meanwhile, a senior lecturer in the Department of Political Science, Dr Abiodun Fatai-Abatan, has been appointed as the new acting DSA.
Also, The Metro Lawyer reports that the Lagos State House of Assembly on Tuesday, said it would invite the Commissioner for Tertiary Education, Mr Tolani Akibu, the Vice-Chancellor of Lagos State University, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, the Senate of the tertiary institution and other top staff over allegations of extortion and certificate racketeering levelled against the school recently.
