May 22, (THEWILL) – The Osun State Government has said Dr Folorunso Alakija, is to remain the Chancellor of Osun State University, after the dissolution of the Governing Council of the University.
Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Spokesperson to State Governor, made the clarification in a statement issued on Sunday night.
Rasheed said that the dissolution of the institution’s Governing Council does not affect the position of Dr Alakija, who is contributing immensely to the growth and development of the University.
“The position of the Chancellor is not part of the Governing Council, and so the dissolution of the Council has nothing to do with the Chancellor.
“The Government further notes with deep appreciation the ongoing multiple support from Dr Alakija to the infrastructural growth of the University.
“The State values her selfless, humanitarian and philanthropic assistance to the human, physical and academic development of the university”, the statement added.
