Court voids suit seeking removal of Ekiti Varsity VC
Agency Report
A Federal High Court in Abuja, on Friday, rejected a suit seeking to invalidate the appointment of Prof. Abayomi Fasina as the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti.
Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a judgment, ruled that the plaintiff, Tableland Society For the Oppressed (TSFO), lacked the legal right to institute the suit.
Justice Ekwo further held that plaintiff failed to establish that it was registered by the Corporate Affairs Commission to engage in public interest litigation and question the activities of government’s agencies.
The judge, who upheld the defendants’ preliminary objection, denied jurisdiction over the case.
He, thereafter, struck out the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/250/2021.
Listed as defendants in the suit are the Minister of Education; the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti; the Chairman of FUOYE’s Governing Council; the institution’s Registrar; the Chairman, National University Commission and Prof. Fasina.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that TSFO had argued that Fasina was not qualified for the appointment having allegedly been indicted for wrong doing and having also not done well in the interview during the selection process.
It accused the university’s Governing Council of manipulating selection process to favour Fashina.
