The Rector of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), Abeokuta, Arc.
Tokunbo Fowode, has been relieved of his appointment.
Insidemapoly gathered that the sack of Arch. Fowode came on the heels of
the freezing of the various bank accounts of the institution by the
state government,you will also recall that the state government led by
Gov. Amosun some months after its inauguration constituted a panel of
inquiry to look into various activities of the institution as regards
its management,finance and misappropriation of funds.
A four-paragraph letter by the state Accountant-General, Mr. Seye
Senfuye, dated September 17, conveyed the decision of government to
freeze the polytechnic‘s accounts. The government directed all banks
dealing with the institution to freeze “all manner of accounts –current,
deposit and savings” which means that there can only be money deposits
and no withdrawal on the accounts.
Fowode, who hails from Ijebu-Ode, is currebtly on his second term as
rector which was renewed on May 10, 2010 by the immediate past
administration of Otunba Gbenga Daniel. For about three years now,
however, the polytechnic has been running without a Governing Council.
Until his appointment as new MAPOLY Rector, Itiola was a senior lecturer
at the Department of Pharmaceutics and Industrial Pharmacy, University
of Ibadan. He was the Dean of the department between 2001 and 2005.
