Adebayo was quietly transferred to the University of Abuja through his long-standing relationship with Alausa, who is now allegedly pressuring the university administration to hand him a senior management role.
The Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has been accused of desperately lobbying and influence the appointment of his ally, Professor Hamzat Adebayo, into a top management position at the University of Abuja.
Sources familiar with the development revealed on Tuesday to SaharaReporters, that Alausa is working behind the scenes to compensate Adebayo, whose ambition to become the Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University Dutsin-Ma (FUDMA) in Katsina State was aborted following exposing reports of gross misconduct and his subsequent dismissal by the university's Governing Council.

Speaking with SaharaReporters, a whistleblower within the academic community warned the university's leadership against succumbing to political pressure from the minister to foist an unfit administrator on the institution.
