NANS Asks Fayemi to Prosecute Corrupt Heads of Tertiary Institutions

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), has advised Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi to prosecute all head of the state owned tertiary institution found to have looted the treasury while at the helms of affairs.

The association said this in Ado Ekiti recently while commenting on the 11-man probe panel set up by the state government to probe the activities of the Ekiti State University(EKSU), Ado Ekiti.

Fayemi had on Monday constituted a visitation panel for EKSU , which terms of reference including determining the rots in the university and make recommendations appropriately.

But in a joint statement jointly signed by NANS National Vice President, Mr. Raymond Ojo and Secretary of NANS’ Anti-Corruption Committee, Mr. Farouq Ahmed, the association urged Fayemi to set up similar panel to probe the Ekiti State College of Health Sciences and Technology, Ijero Ekiti under the leadership of the immediate past Provost, Mr. Bayo Ojo.

NANS opposed the idea that the appointments of those directing the college’s affairs in acting capacities after the exit of Ojo should be confirmed, alleging that they were also part of the lingering maladministration affecting the fortunes of the institution negatively .

The association commended Fayemi for abolishing all ‘illegal’

levies in public primary and secondary schools in the State barely one week he assumed office, describing the gesture as a veritable weapon that would tackle the menace of school dropouts as well as ensuring more students’ enrollment in line with the compulsory and free Education policy of the federal government .

The body alleged that the college was badly managed under Ojo and that such had reduced the quality of learning in the institution.
