Osun: My Government Established The Ilesa University Not Adeleke – Oyetola Says At Owa Obokun Palace

Former Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola has said that his successor, Ademola Adeleke did not establish the University of Ilesa, Osun State.

LeadNaija understands that during a condolence visit to the palace of Owa Obokun to commemorate with the community over the demise of Oba Adekunle Aromolaran, Adeleke had told the traditional council that he did not only ensure the establishment of Ilesa University, but also ensured that funds were released for its take off.

However, Oyetola, during his visit on Monday said Adeleke lied, as it was his administration that established the university and also got National University Commission (NUC) approval before constituting a governing council for it.

Oyetola who was represented by Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director, National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Bola Oyebamiji , said the Governor lied about establishing the University, saying it was mischief to distort verifiable facts about the university.

He said, “There is no controversy over this. Oyetola’s government established the Ilesa University. There is no controversy, I repeat and if anyone has anything contrary, he should come forward to negate this with facts, not by propaganda means. It is on record that it was Oyetola’s administration that engaged hands that sat with our team while in government to establish the university and it is also on record that the National University Commission (NUC) approved the creation of the university before we constituted the Governing Board for the varsity.

“We should be reminded that no one will constitute the Governing Board without the approval of the National University Commission, so, if it is incontrovertible that Oyetola’s government constituted the Governing Council, then, the concocted insinuation has no basis in logic and rationality.

“I am very sure that the people of Ijesaland can testify to these facts. There are verifiable documents to this and when the time comes, we will bring them forward to the public domain. It is unfortunate that some people could still be so petty to the extent that they would be claiming what doesn’t belong to them. Full Details
