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.
