File: Vice-Chancellor of Osun State University, Prof. Clement Adebooye
The Osun State Government has urged members of the Osun State University community to refrain from actions capable of creating needless tension in the institution, as the national leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities moved against the decision to extend the tenure of the institution’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Clement Adebooye.
The government, in a statement signed by the state Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, obtained in Osogbo on Tuesday, faulted ASUU’s position on the two-year tenure extension recently announced for Adebooye.
ASUU had, in a communiqué issued after an emergency National Executive Council meeting held in Abuja on Saturday, September 5, declared that Adeleke’s extension of Adebooye’s tenure by two years violated the provisions of the university law.
The union subsequently mandated its UNIOSUN branch to mobilise and respond courageously to the alleged “flagrant violation of the Miscellaneous Act as amplified in the 2025 FGN-ASUU Agreement.”
