FOLLOWING the outcry that greeted the allegation of certificate racketeering against some academic and non-academic staff of the Lagos State University, LASU, the management of the institution has removed Prof. Tajudeen Olumoko as the Dean of Student Affairs and replaced him with a senior lecturer in the Department of Political Science, Dr.
Abiodun Fatai-Abatan.This is just as a source told Vanguard that he may be suspended, pending the conclusion of an investigation into the matter.
The sting operation that was carried out to nail those involved in the act was carried out in 2020 following the report by the former Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun, SAN, that some persons were selling degree certificates of the university for millions of naira. Also, it was gathered that some alumni of the university are angry about the development and wondered why the management of the university delayed in acting on the matter.
In the online report, there was the insinuation that some persons wanted the matter swept under the rug.Reacting to the allegation, the Coordinator of the Centre for Information and Public Relations, Oluwayemisi Thomas-Onashile said: “The attention of Lagos State University Management has been drawn to recent reports regarding alleged “Certificate Racketeering” and a “sting operation” in the University.
