Lagos State University (LASU) has removed the Dean of Student Affairs, Prof. Tajudeen Olumoko.
His removal comes on the heels of a news report published on Monday by an online news platform.
The report disclosed that a certificate racketeering syndicate had genuine Lagos State University (LASU) certificates that anyone interested could purchase for between N2m and N3m, depending on the technicality of the course involved.
As a result, Dr. Abiodun Fatai-Abatan, a senior lecturer in the Department of Political Science, has been named as acting DSA.
A source in the university who spoke on the condition of anonymity confirmed the removal to our correspondent, saying, “Yes, it is true; Olumoko has been removed, and Abatan has taken over as DSA. This happened yesterday (Tuesday).”
At the time of filing this report, the Coordinator, Centre for Information and Public Relations, LASU, Oluwayemisi Thomas-Onashile, when asked for the school’s reaction to the removal of Prof. Olumoko, said, “I can’t say if he has been removed or not. I am not yet in the office. So, I don’t know anything yet.”
