Lecturer at Ibadan Polytechnic dismissed over alleged misconduct
By Emmanuel Awosika
The Polytechnic, Ibadan has sacked Mr. Ajadi Omotoso, a lecturer in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, over allegations of misconduct.
The academic institution announced the sacking in a letter titled, ‘The Polytechnic, Ibadan terminates appointment of Chief Lecturer’, which it sent to journalists on Saturday.
In the letter, the institution said the lecturer had, through actions, brought the name of The Polytechnic, Ibadan into disrepute.
It stated that Omotoso had been found guilty of his offences, which left the institution no choice but to terminate his appointment.
The letter reads partly: “You will recall that you were engaged in inappropriate behaviour and a poorly managed relationship with your former student.
“These resulted in embarrassing and tarnishing the image of your employer, The Polythenic, Ibadan.
“You will also recall your responses and appearances before the investigation panel and senior staff disciplinary committee that looked into the above matters.
“After careful consideration of the issues above, the Governing Council found you guilty as your actions and activities amount to misconduct.
“The Governing Council, therefore, approves the immediate terminations of your appointment with effect from Friday, September 11. You are to hand over all properties of the institution in your possession to your Head of Department.”
