UNIMED dismisses Deputy VC over false allegations against management

Professor Adolphus Loto, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Administration and Clinical Services at the University of Medical Sciences, UNIMED, Ondo State, has been dismissed by the school as a result of a fake petition submitted against the university’s management, National Daily Newspaper gathered.

Loto was sacked by the institution’s governing body after an inquiry into the charges against the university’s management revealed them to be false and deceptive.

In a statement, the institution’s spokeswoman, Temitope Oluwatayo, stated that UNIMED adheres to the highest standards of ethical behavior and responsibility, emphasizing that any activities that undermine the institution’s credibility would not be accepted.

Oluwatayo stated that the Deputy Vice-Chancellor’s actions were considered a breach of trust and integrity and that the decisive action was taken in the best interests of the institution and its commitment to transparency and honesty.

“The decision of the Senate was predicated on the former DVC’s unbecoming conduct, including frivolous, spurious, and unsubstantiated allegations against the university management.

“The Petitions Committee of Council, PCC, found the allegations untrue, baseless, embarrassing to the university community, and liable to bring the university into disrepute, given Prof. Loto’s position as the Deputy Vice-Chancellor.

“UNIMED Senate, on Monday, April 29, 2024, considered the report of the PCC and recommended the removal of Prof. Loto as the Deputy Vice-Chancellor by an overwhelming majority, with 100 per cent of the voters approving his removal as DVC Admin, National Daily Newspaper gathered.
