Unilorin: Contestant challenges VC's appointment at Appeal court
A contestant for the post of University of Ilorin vice-chancellor, Professor Rasheed Ijaodola, has appealed the verdict of an Ilorin Federal High Court which upheld the selection and appointment of Professor Abdulganiyu Ambali as the vice-chancellor of the university.
Justice Olayinka Faji had on June 24, 2013, affirmed the selection of Ambali by the Governing Council of the university, declaring that the appointment was valid and to that extent lawful contrary to the arguments of the plaintiff.
Dissatisfied with the lower court ruling, Ijaodola who was a lecturer in the university's Faculty of Law, but currently teaches at Igbenedion University, Okada, approached the appellate court with 12 grounds of appeal.
In the notice of appeal filed at the Court of Appeal, Ilorin division between Ijaodola and Unilorin Governing Council and 17 other defendants, the contestant argued, among others, that the trial judge erred in law "in holding that the council of Unilorin followed due process in short-listing, selecting and filling of the vacancy of the post of the vice-chancellor of Unilorin".
The appellant also joined other contestants for the post as defendants in the appeal even though their names were struck out by Justice Faaji who in the June verdict described Ijaodola as a busy-body for joining other contestants as defendants/respondents in the suit.
He prayed the court to set aside the lower court judgement and grant all his reliefs and to stop Professor Ambali from parading himself as a vice-chancellor of Unilorin.
No date has been fixed for hearing.
