Mr Ademola Adekoya, the institution’s Head of Centre for Information, Press and Public Relations, said this on Monday in Lagos.

Adekoya said that the members of the Senate of the institution approved the appointment of Oke as the Acting Vice-Chancellor after their voting process.

He said, “Oke had over 61 votes while Prof.Elias Wahab, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics) had 51 votes.

He also advised them to ensure that the rule of law and justice continue to thrive in the institution.

Fagbohun made the appeal in a statement he made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Lagos.
