The Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has suspended the Chairman, Governing Council of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, Mr. Banji Alabi, following the report of the Visitation Panel to the institution.
The governor announced the suspension while receiving the report of the seven-member panel to the polytechnic, on Thursday.
Receiving the report at the Governor’s Office, Alagbaka, Akure, Akeredolu who appreciated all members of the panel for their labour, with a promise to look into the report, declared, “the chairman stands suspended until I hear from him.” He said, “Coincidentally, I am from Owo, I was inundated with several complaints here and there. A number of them I am not able to solve. I asked questions and got answers that probably were not correct, I can’t understand. I got information that several people have been recruited and when I ask, they will say no. Then why are your wages going up? Why can’t you pay?“We have intervened on one or two occasions and we gave money with specific instruction to pay salaries.
Submitting the panel report to the governor, the Chairman, Professor Olabode Koriko, applauded Akeredolu for releasing about N1.6bn bailout to the polytechnic, adding that the commitment of the governor to reposition the polytechnic and restore its lost glory was commendable.
