John Adekolawole, the rector of the Federal Polytechnic in Ede, Osun state has been suspended by the organization's...
scholastic board on grounds of "sleeping at work."
Adekunle Masopa, administrator of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) in the foundation, said the board put together its choice with respect to 21 grounds.
Talking after a crisis congress of the association, Masopa said a position paper was submitted to the association by the board after its gathering. They blamed Adekolawole for tainting the regarded office of the minister with the production of a room outfitted with an extra large bed which has made it feasible for him to be ''sleeping at work.''
He said;
"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."
