This is coming less than 24 hours after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) invited the Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Olusola Oyewole alongside the University Bursar, Moses Ilesanmi over an alleged case of Abuse of Office and misappropriation of funds reported against the Management, the University Pro Chancellor and some members of the Governing Council.
According to the petition submitted to the EFCC by the Concerned Stakeholders of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, it was alleged that the Pro Chancellor and the Vice Chancellor engaged in an “unbridled corruption and betrayal of public trusts”.
