The Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta,
Olusola Oyewole, has been invited for questioning by the anti-graft
commission, EFCC.
Mr. Oyewole and the institution’s bursar, Moses Ilesanmi, were invited
for questioning based on allegations of corruption levelled against
them.
The duo are to appear at the EFCC’s Zonal Office in Ibadan on August 17
by 10:00 a.m., according to an invitation letter signed by Akaninyewa
Ezima.
“The office is currently investigating an alleged case of corruption and
abuse of office involving your institution,” the EFCC invitation letter
obtained by PREMIUM TIMES reads.
The university officials were told to come along with certified true
copies of documents including those of capital projects executed in
their tenure.
While Mr. Oyewole, a Professor of Food Science and Technology, was
appointed in 2012, Mr. Ilesanmi was appointed in September 2011 and is
scheduled to leave office in a month.
The EFCC is also investigating payments made by the university to the
governing council of the institution led by a former senator, Adeseye
Ogunlewe.
The invited officials were asked to come with records of all payments
made to Mr. Ogunlewe and other members of the governing council since
their appointment in 2013.
Mr. Ogunlewe, who represented Lagos State in the Senate, was appointed
pro-chancellor of the university by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
