Corruption Allegation: NYCN petitions Tinubu, others to suspend FUOYE VC selection process among other financial, sexual harassment allegations
Corruption Allegation: NYCN petitions Tinubu, others to suspend FUOYE VC selection process among other financial, sexual harassment allegations
The National Youths Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Ekiti State chapter, has petitioned President Bola Tinubu to order an immediate suspension of the ongoing Vice-Chancellorship process in the Federal University of Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE).
The petition was titled: “Petition against ongoing administrative manipulation, corruption and abuse of due process in the appointment of a new Vice-Chancellor at the Federal University of Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE).”
The NYCN said to be representing the collective voice and future of Nigerian students and youth appealed to President Tinubu who is also the Visitor to FUOYE to turn his attention to “the grave irregularities, corruption, and coordinated administrative abuse” in FUOYE.
The petition which was jointly signed by the NYCN Ekiti State Chapter Chairman, Amb. James Bankole and its General Secretary, Oluwanifemi Olawale said FUOYE has “fallen into administrative darkness under the combined manipulation” of the Governing Council’s Chairman, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba and the outgoing Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Abayomi Fasina.
The NYCN urged the President to take a “firm, decisive and transparent actions” to save FUOYE from “total institutional collapse.”
The NYCN lamented that the new Vice-Chancellor selection process “was designed to produce a predetermined” and preferred candidate of the Council Chairman and the outgoing VC in person of Prof. Joshua Ogunwole.
They stated the Council shrunk the whole selection process to two weeks, from Thursday 23rd October to Thursday 6th November, 2025, a timeframe they said was too short the selection committee to produce a credible candidate from the over 100 applicants.
They said such selection process in other Federal institutions take between six to eight weeks to complete.
The NYCN leadership lamented that FUOYE has in recent years become the “epicentre of disturbing governance decay.”
They alleged that with their “the toxic alliance” Senator Ndoma-Egba and Prof. Fasina has turned the university into a “personal empire, weaponizing the Governing Council for self enrichment, manipulation and the cover-up of corrupt acts.
The NYCN alleged that the Council Chairman has jettisoned due process and accountability for “corruption, impunity and reckless abuse of power” at the University.
Allegation of “calculated conspiracy to loot, conceal and perpetuate illegality” were levelled against the Senator of the VC.
They frowned at the fact that the Governing Council Chairman has relocated all council and committees meetings to Abuja since assuming office as against ministerial directive that such meetings should be held within the university campus.
They described such a decision as misuse of public funds which could have been used to fund accreditation exercises.
Among the corruption allegations was the approval of ₦128 million “Research leave” by the Vice-Chancellor for himself with the approval of the Council Chairman.
The petition also alleged the acquisition of a ₦700 million property in Ilupeju-Ekiti, an acquisition they said was grossly inflated at a time when staff welfare was deteriorating, disregard for institution’s accreditation need and with a crashing of FUOYE’s Internally Generated Revenue from ₦2 billion to under ₦50 million.
The petition also frowned at the deliberate suppression of a sex allegation level by one Engr. Folashade Adebayo against the outgoing VC among other sexual cover-ups.
“Our comprehensive findings have exposed a long-standing culture of sexual predation, intimidation and cover-ups within the institution.
“These are not isolated incidents; they are systemic, normalised abuses of power.”
The petition calls for immediate suspension of Prof. Fasina pending investigation, constitution of independent panel to investigate all sexual harassment allegations, immediate removal of Senator Ndoma-Egba as Chairman Governing Council, suspension of all current activities of committee relating to the vice chancellor selection process, comprehensive audit of FUOYE’s Finances among others.
Included on the petition list were the Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, the Inspector-General of Police, Minister of Youth Development, the Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission, the Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) among others.

Revival Atmosphere as Dominion City Launches Night of Glory 2026.
Revival Atmosphere as Dominion City Launches Night of Glory 2026.
Lagos – The atmosphere was charged with faith, worship, and expectancy as Dominion City’s Global Camp Meeting 2026 entered its peak with the first day of the “Night of Glory,” drawing thousands of worshippers to Lagos and Enugu in a powerful display of spiritual revival.
Held at the Golden Heart Place, Ajah, Lagos, the Friday evening gathering marked a significant moment in the ongoing six-day conference themed “Redigging the Wells of Our Fathers.” Participants from across Nigeria and beyond converged both physically and online, united by a shared hunger for divine encounter and transformation.
From the outset, the meeting was characterised by intense worship sessions led by gospel ministers, creating an atmosphere many attendees described as “tangible with God’s presence.” The night quickly transitioned into sessions of fervent prayers, prophetic ministrations, and teachings centred on restoration, healing, and spiritual awakening.
Presiding over the meeting, Dr. David Ogbueli, founder of Dominion City, charged participants to reconnect with foundational truths and spiritual disciplines necessary for personal and societal transformation. He emphasised that the “Night of Glory” was designed as a moment of divine visitation where destinies could be reshaped.
“As we redig the wells of our fathers, we are reconnecting with ancient graces and covenant realities that produce undeniable results,” he declared.
As the night unfolded, several remarkable testimonies were shared, reinforcing the theme of supernatural intervention. Among them was the case of a 14-year-old girl who was reportedly delivered from a seven-year struggle with pornography addiction, an experience that drew emotional reactions from the congregation.
Other testimonies included reported healing from cancer, recovery from a severe skin infection attributed to spiritual affliction, the healing of a heart-related condition, and three years of a non-menstrual period. Attendees also recounted instances of restored hearing and sight, with individuals testifying to improvements from partial deafness and blindness, among others.
Fathers of faith present were Barrister Emeka Nwankpa, Pastor Yemi Ayodele, Rev. Pade Tokun, Apostle Gbenga Adegbenro, Rev. Mike Adegbile, and others. Other Ministers present, including Pastor Dr. Charles Ndifon, Pastor Randy Mitchell, Apostle Ikechukwu Nnajiofor, and others, reinforced messages of faith and the power of God to intervene in human situations. They encouraged worshippers to remain steadfast and receptive, noting that miracles often spring from an atmosphere of unwavering belief.
Beyond the miraculous, the gathering also underscored a broader call to moral and spiritual renewal. Church leaders reiterated the need for believers to embody values that can positively influence society, especially in a time of perceived moral decline.
The “Night of Glory” is part of the larger Global Camp Meeting, which began on April 1 and will run through April 6, featuring daily teachings, leadership sessions, and specialized programmes for youths and families.
Organisers say expectations remain high for the second night, with many believing that the wave of miracles and transformation witnessed on the first night is only the beginning.
For many attendees, however, the message was clear beyond the signs and wonders; the true essence of the gathering lies in a renewed commitment to live transformed lives and impact society. //END.//
