The Akure zone of the Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) has called on the minister of education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, to save the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) by appointing an acting vice Chancellor for the institution.
According to ASUU, the move will allow due process to be followed and help safeguard the process of appointing a substantive vice-chancellor from interference and compromise by the current leadership of the institution.
The tenure of the current VC, Professor Kayode Soromekun, would end by February 2021.
Addressing newsmen at the weekend, the chairman ASUU Akure zone, Prof Olufayo Olu-Olu, said the minister must prevail on the governing council not to influence the process so as to allow a qualified applicant to emerge as the new VC of the institution.

The tenure of the current vice-chancellor, Professor Kayode Soromekun will end in February 2021.
The process commenced in August with the final shortlisting of about nine professors for the position but the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) had raised alarm over alleged moves to impose the current deputy vice chancellor of the university, Professor Abayomi Fasina.
