Administration of the University of Ilorin, UNILORIN, has precluded claims from securing misrepresentation leveled against its Vice Chancellor (VC), Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali and his forerunner, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

Review that ASUU last Thursday requested of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibadan Zonal office, charging over N2 billion misrepresentation against Oloyede and Ambali.

Responding, Oloyede, the present Registrar, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), rejected the cases, including that Satan was utilizing ASUU against him.

Ascending with regards to the team, UNILORIN in an announcement yesterday depicted the charges as "puerile untruths, to a great extent purge and just practiced to make it look genuine".

The announcement by UNILORIN's Head of Corporate Affairs, Kunle Akogun, said there was just the same old thing new in the assertions.

He noticed that,

"similar colleagues made similar charges last August while shamefacedly kicking against the all around justified arrangement of Prof. Oloyede as recorder of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB)".

"Furthermore, obviously, nobody considered them important, as even President Muhammadu Buhari is not uninformed of the due determination accreditations of the progressive organizations of the University of Ilorin.

"What the organization of Prof. Oloyede did was what the law and ICPC guided all colleges to do: that rather than the 7.5 for every penny being up to this point deducted from the essential compensation of laborers, the derivation should have been from the gross remittance."
Akogun included that the elucidation had since guided the administration's activity and the conclusions were being credited to the Pension Fund Administrators' (PFA) accounts as and when due, till the legislature began deducting from source.

"It is additionally a deception to affirm that the college's administration did not convey the unions along in all these. In all actuality administration met with the unions on the new advancement and all gatherings concurred that the PFAs ought to be credited the full 7.5 for each penny.

"It was the underlying under-derivation that was spread for installment over a 24-month time span. This had since been closed a few years prior".

Akogun, who named the candidates "displeased components" and "leftovers of the infamous 419," focused on that "their exercises inside the most recent one year had been focused at upsetting the college's continuous scholastic timetable."

He asked the EFCC to disapprove the appeal, noticing that, "we are sure that the counter unite office will appropriately transfer it to where it properly has a place: the junk can."
