The Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Administration and Clinical Services of the University of Medical Science (UNIMED), Ondo town, Ondo State, Prof Adolphus Loto, has been dismissed.
The dismissal came after the Governing Council ratified the Senate’s decision at its 22nd Statutory meeting held at the Council Chamber, Medical Village Campus, Ondo.
The decision was based on Prof. Loto’s alleged misconduct, which included making unfounded allegations against the University Management.
Prof. Loto’s petition and the responses from the Vice-Chancellor, Registrar, and Bursar were referred to the Petitions Committee of the Council for investigation.
The Committee found the allegations to be false and damaging to the University’s reputation, given Prof. Loto’s position.
The UNIMED Senate, on April 29, voted overwhelmingly for Prof. Loto’s removal as Deputy Vice-Chancellor.
The Governing Council then approved the Senate’s resolution to remove Prof. Loto as DVC.
