College Governing Council chair faults Kwara Assembly over sack call
A member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Kwara State, Engineer Musa Yeketi, has challenged the recent action of the Kwara State House of Assembly calling for his sack as Chairman of Governing Council of state College of Education.
Yeketi stated that the order by the Assembly, asking for his sack as Chairman, Governing Council of the college, and compelling him to refund N5.9m was an attempt aimed at destroying his personality as a grassroots mobiliser in the state. According to him, the order followed a petition sent to the lawmakers by the acting Provost of the college, Dr A.I. Ibrahim on February 7, 2013.
Yekiti, however, expressed his dismay at the House's order, which he noted, indicated its sympathy for the petitioner. Engineer Yekiti clarified that the policy of both Kwara State Polytechnic and College of Education favours monetisation of official vehicles of the chairmen, adding that the acting Provost was at a meeting of the Governing Council where it was agreed that N3.9m be settled by the college because it was a loan for the purchase of the chairman's official car for his official assignments.
"Interestingly, the acting Provost was at the meeting held between September 5 and 6, 2012 and he did not raise any objection to the decision. Why he has turned this to a crime before the House remains a matter to be given serious attention," he said.
