The appointment of a chief lecturer at The Polytechnic, Ibadan has been terminated by the Authorities of the institution.
This is contained in a press release signed by the Registrar/Secretary to the Council of the institution, Mrs. Fawale M.T on September 17th, 2020.
According to the release, Mr. Ajani Kelani Ojo Omotosho, a lecturer in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, was shown the way out of the institution following his involvement in an act of misconduct which resulted in embarrassing and tarnishing the image of the institution.
