UI: Ibadan indigenes demand Vice Chancellor slot
The indigenes called on President Muhammadu Buhari and other stakeholders in the country to ensure that the next Vice-Chancellor of the institution which is due to succeed the incumbent Vice-Chancellor on December 1st 2020 comes from Ibadan.
But, the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes , the umbrella body of Ibadan indigenes while addressing a press conference on Sunday, said that it was unfortunate that the indigenes of the ancient city who are qualified for the position of Vice-Chancellor have been marginalized since inception of the university.
He described it as unfortunate that “by this year, the University of Ibadan is 72 years old and has produced 14 Nigerian Vice-Chancellors between 1960 and today but, no Ibadan man has ever emerged as the Vice-Chancellor of the University.” “A further analysis of this highly instructive record shows that the occupancy of the position of Vice-Chancellor of U.I. in the past 41 years and emergence of Prof. S.O. Olayide – Obokun-Ijesha man , the Ijesha people have occupied the position for 24 years – 1979-1983, 1995-2005 and 2010-2020; Ijebu for 12 years and Offa for 4 years.
