Defining The Present, Shaping The Future
Professor Isaac Folorunso Adewole, former Vice-chancellor of the University of Ibadan and a ministerial nominee was the first to be summoned by the Nigerian Senate today as the confirmation hearing continues.
Adewole is from the state of Osun.
The Senate suspended proceedings last week Thursday.
Adewole is not morally, academically fit to lead Nigeria’s health ministry. This man is corrupt, selfish, and opportunistic. This man has built his rise to the pinnacle of the academic profession through non-ethical means. Were other academicians of repute interviewed to solicit their opinion of this man? Many academic and even non-academic staff of the University of Ibadan where Adewole is the outgoing VC do not hold him in any esteem. I wonder why or how this man has made it to this stage if not through his unorthodox means. I wonder why it is that we sideline sound minded academicians to fill important positions for people like Adewole. What happened during Adewole’s tenure as Provost of U.I’s college of medicine, or U.I PEPFAR head and even as Vice Chancellor? This man is the most inept VC in U.I’s history. We are in trouble is the Senate confirms this man, Adewole.
