As the search for the vice chancellor of the University of Ibadan commences, many people are vying for the coveted seat, just as the tenure of the incumbent, Professor Isaac Folorunso Adewole expires November.
To ensure democratic emergence of another university administrator, a forum known as University of Ibadan Community Forum has been inaugurated.
The chairman of the forum which was composed of representatives of all the unions on the campus including Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities (SSANU), Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU), National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT) and Students’ Union, Nelson Fashina said they were 13 nominated from all the unions.
He disclosed that the forum was set up to give a level-playing ground for all contestants, adding, “we are a neutral and objective body seeking for the enthronement of truth, fair play and justice.
“All candidates therefore earn respect for their personal opinion, vision and mission, such that no one of them can be intimidated or harassed. All the candidates, both from within the UI and outside are given equal opportunities.
“It is a forum that is meant to articulate the conjunction of positive interest in the direction of unity and harmony as necessary condition for further propagation of academic excellence.
“It is also for improved administrative achievements and better welfare for all, both staff, students, and families on the UI campus and for the interest of all our affiliate colleges and other functional interests, both nationally and internationally”, Fashina added.
