The management of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, has terminated the appointment of its lecturer, Kelani Omotosho, over alleged sexual misconduct with a former student.
This is contained in a statement signed by the institution’s Registrar, Mrs Modupe Fawale, in Ibadan on Saturday.
The management said the lecturer, from the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, was sacked for allegedly embarrassing and tarnishing the image of the institution.
The termination letter dated September 15, 2020 and signed by the registrar reminded the lecturer that he was engaged in an inappropriate behaviour and poorly managed relationship with his former student, an act that embarrassed and tarnished the image of his employer, The Polytechnic Ibadan.
The letter also urged the lecturer to recall his responses and appearance before the Investigative Panel and Senior Staff Disciplinary Committee that looked into the above matter, adding that after a careful consideration of the issue, the Governing Council found him guilty as his actions and activities amounted to misconduct.
The Governing Council therefore approved the immediate termination of his appointment with effect from Friday, September 11, 2020, asking him to hand over all property of the institution in his possession to the Head of Department.
