Among allegations leveled against him are that he misappropriated several
billions of naira given by the State as subvention to the institution
between 2005 and now.
He was also accused of appointing his cronies
most of whom have long retired from acting service and imposing contract
staff as heads of departments and faculties.
Despite the efforts of
the State government. Regarding the school, the institution does not
have any dedicated library or laboratory. It has also not had any
physical structure since the VC assumed office..
The affected courses include Law, Economics, Marketing, Chemical and
Polymer Engineering, Accounting, Banking and Finance, Political Science,
Sociology, Business Administration and Management Technology.
The
NUC, the lecturers claimed would be visiting the school in November this
year for another round of denial of accreditation of another 26
courses.
They accused Hussein of hounding several lecturers in the school making them run for their dear lives.
Chairman of the institution's branch of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities, Dr. Kabir Akinyemi, also accused the Vice Chancellor of
sitting on the promotion of the lecturers since 2005.
As at when he became the VC,the institution was said to have about six
professors in the faculty of Law, but this is no longer the case as the
only one currently remaining, Prof. Olusegun Yerokun, is a retired
lecturer who is also on contract and now heads the faculty as the dean.
The institution's Director of Academic Planning is manned by one Mr.
Olanrewaju John, who was appointed and made a level 14 staff with just a
Bachelor of Art(BA) and barely six years experience for a job that
should be handled by a Professor.
Though, they did not mention the
courses that may face accreditation problems next month, it was learnt
that the College of Medicine might be affected as the institution also
makes use of contract staff.
When asked to defend himself, the VC who was shaking and stuttering, blamed
the entire situation on the school's senate, which he has allegedly
pocketed and has continued to influence.
They therefore resolved to hire the services of a competent accounting firm to probe the administration's spending so far, while the House decides on what action to take.
The Speaker, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, also stated that they would not be influenced by anybody in the course of investigating the issue as the House had severally warned the Vice Chancellor to desist from ruining the school aground.
Investigations revealed that Prof. Hussein would have been sacked before now, but for the constant intervention of the former Governor of State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who was said to have appointed him.
