The Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, on Tuesday, appointed Prof. Edward Olanipekun as Vice-Chancellor of Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti.
Olanikpekun, a professor of chemistry, replaces Prof Sam Oye Bandele, who was sent packing in January.
Prof Olubunmi Ajayi has been occupying the position in an acting capacity ever since.
A statement by Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Yinka Oyebode, said, “The appointment takes immediate effect.”
Oyebode in January said Bandele’s removal followed the consideration of the adoption of the White Papers on the Report of the Visitation Panel chaired by former Vice-Chancellor, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Prof Bamitale Omole, and the panels set up by the state executive council.
