The governing council of the Polytechnic Ibadan, on Friday, approved the immediate termination of the appointment of a lecturer for alleged sexual misconduct.
The dismissal takes effect from Friday, September 11, 2020.
The affected lecturer, Ajadi Omotosho, was relieved of his appointment as a lecturer in the institution for his involvement in the sexual harassment of a student.
The management of the school in a statement signed by the registrar to the council, Modupe Fawale, explained that the lecturer was sacked in order not to further damage the image of the polytechnic.
The letter of termination sent to the former lecturer on September 15 reads: “You will recall that you were engaged in an inappropriate behaviour and a poorly managed relationship with your former student. These resulted in embarrassing and tarnishing the image of your employer, The Polytechnic, Ibadan.”
“You will also recall your responses and appearances before the investigation panel and senior staff disciplinary committee that looked into the above matters.”
“After a careful consideration of the issues above, the governing council found you guilty as your actions and activities amount to misconduct.”
“The governing council, therefore, approved the immediate termination of your appointment with effect from Friday, 11th September, 2020.
“You are to hand over all properties of the institution in your possession to your Head of Department.”
