Over 300 former students of the Vice-Chancellor of Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), Professor Abayomi Sunday Fasina, have voiced strong support for him, dismissing recent sexual harassment allegations as a coordinated attempt to tarnish his reputation.
In a statement signed by representatives of the 300 Agricultural Sciences alumni from 2007 to 2020, the ex-students described Prof. Fasina as a dedicated mentor, an ethical academic and a responsible family man, insisting that the allegations against him are politically and ethnically motivated.
The former students expressed concern over what they see as an orchestrated character assassination, particularly as FUOYE approaches its convocation and Prof. Fasina’s tenure nears its end.
They noted that certain dissatisfied individuals and media personnel with alleged personal grievances could be fueling the controversy.
“We firmly believe that Vice-Chancellor Prof. Abayomi Fasina cannot be found wanting in this matter. It is clear that some forces within the university are attempting to discredit his administration and incite chaos,” the statement read.
