The President of the All Nigeria United Nations Students and Youths Association(ANUNSA, Obafemi Awolowo University Chapter, Akingunola Joel Opeyemi, has expressed his opinions on the recent financial claims saga rocking the University.
In an extensive interview with one of our correspondents, Mr Akingunola had this to say as regards the financial claims saga:
" The case should be carefully looked into as "corruption" is one of the major issues hindering many African countries from achieving the collective target set by the UN for member countries to hit by 2030. All parties should get the facts straight and appropriate consequential action be taken based on the discovered facts."
Mr Akingunola also examined the issue as regards its effect(s) on the reinstatement of OAU's Students' Union where he opined thus :
This issue(The financial claims saga) should in no way hamper the smooth process of granting the legal rights of students to collectively protect their interests. The process preceding the election should in no way be stopped or delayed as several cases of social injustice, insecurity and others are common place ever since the union was proscribed. "
Both issues should be addressed simultaneously and none should hinder the other.
It would be recalled that on the 22nd of October 2016, the Vice-Dean of the Division of Students Affairs, OAU, made it known at an event which held on OAU's soil that the last administration of the suspended Students' union were allocated 2.5million naira by the University's management which they expended in just three days.
The claim by the Vice-Dean has been countered by the immediate past Financial Secretary of the union. He alleged that Dr. Afolabi's statement was nothing but false,this he did in a public release issued and signed by him (Olajide Adeyanju Ayodeji).
