Registrar of Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education Oto Ijanikin,Abdulquadri Muhideen has debunked the allegation of financial impropriety leveled against him and the Bursar, Adeyanju Adebisi, by workers in the institution.

He said the unions did not conduct themselves in a manner of conflict resolution.

Disclosing this on Tuesday March 10th, 2020, Shehu said the unions were making certain baseless allegations which he had to correct.

“The unions were just being emotional. Their motive is to reverse the judgment of the immediate past Governing Council of some of their members,” he said.

“The immediate past Governing Council found some of them guilty of various infractions. The Council demoted them. After the Council wrapped up its term, they took their agitation to the SA (special adviser on education) who told them that he would not interfere in the matter and that they should take it to a new Council.

“We had a management meeting on Tuesday. The meeting went on smoothly. We attended to all the questions they raised. Soon,they started making certain misinformation against my person and that of the Bursar. I cannot keep quiet against those allegations because I am the book-keeper of the college. I had the opportunity to right the wrongs,” he noted.

“They started chanting war songs. They went out and deflated my car tires and that of the Bursar. When I realized this matter was getting messier, I reported at the Ijanikin Police station. Some police accompanied me back to the college to pick my things. I later realised that the unions had locked my office and that of the Bursar,” he added.

Abdulquadri said they enacted a similar scenario during the school’s matriculation on Thursday. The unions challenged him on the allegation that he did not recognize them during the proceeding.

Shehu absolved himself of financial impropriety, challenging the unions to put the allegation against him in black and white if they have proofs.

Meanwhile, as the college bookkeeper, Shehu did not have any right to authorize cash or cheque except the Provost. He is only a co-signee.

He, however, said he had already forwarded his position via a letter to the Lagos State government on the matter.
