The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has again described the tenure extension granted by Governor Ademola Adeleke to the vice-chancellor of the state university as setting a bad precedent for other state governors of the federation.
It will be recalled that Governor Adeleke announced the extension on August 31, 2026, during the inauguration of the reconstituted Governing Council of UNIOSUN.
Following the announcement, the state House of Assembly amended the UNIOSUN Establishment Law to give room for the extension. Consequently, Prof. Adebooye, who was appointed in 2022, will now remain in office till January 2029.
However, ASUU, in a statement signed by its President, Professor Christopher Piwuna, after its National Executive Committee meeting, said the Union is disappointed in both Governor Adeleke and the VC, Professor Clement Adebooye, over the decision.
