The management of Emmanuel Alayande University of Education, Oyo has reacted to a video content circulated about the institution, stating that the video doesn’t represent the truth about the University.
In an official press statement made available to our correspondent on Monday through the University’s Media and Public Relations Officer, Wale Adeoye, said the video contains false information and deliberate misrepresentation of facts about the institution.
Reacting to a circulating video made by an Islamic Cleric in Oyo town, Sheikh M’Daud Ahmad Tijani Igi Ogun, Adeoye stressed that the university appointments were made entirely according to the University Law based purely on merit, as reflected in the performances of candidates during properly and legally constituted interview panels.
“The appointments were made in order to position Emmanuel Alayande University of Education as a true Centre of excellence while considering the peculiarities and representativeness of Oyo state. This undoubtedly is in line with the vision of His Excellency, Engr. Oluseyi Abiodun Makinde, FNSE”, he said.
The Media and Public Relations Officer highlights the current composition of management; Vice Chancellor, Ibarapa East ( Christian), Deputy Vice Chancellor, Ibadan North (Muslim), Registrar, Afijio (Christian), Bursar, Egbeda (Christian), Librarian: Ogbomoso North (Christian), Director of Works, Oyo East (Muslim)
