Dapo Abiodun with the panel members. |
The
Visitation Panel set up by the Ogun State government to look into issues
surrounding crisis at the Tai Solarin College of Education, Omu-Ijebu has recommended
the urgent and full implementation of recommendations of the 2016 staff audit
report as some of the issues confronting the institution had been resolved by
the report.
The
Chairman of the panel, Prof. Kamaldeen Balogun stated this when the panel
submitted it's reports and 33 recommendations to the State Governor, Prince
Dapo Abiodun in his office at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
Prof.
Balogun who described the situation at the institution as a "complete
mess", said the audit report had dealt with the case of those who
disturbed the peace of the school and had recommended that eight people should
be investigated as result of their involvement in many atrocities against the
institution.
The
panel according to the Chairman, recommended also that for "peace to reign
in the campus of the College, activities of Coalition of Tai Solarin College of
Education Staff (COTAS), which is unregistered and unrecognized association be
stopped, while the ban on activities of recognized unions be
lifted".
He
said it was imperative for the State government to reopen the institution in
order not to loose it license and accreditation while it’s Governing Council
should be reconstituted, to avoid the state of anarchy and further damage.
While
thanking the State government for giving members of the panel the opportunity
to serve the State, Prof. Balogun urged government to endeavor to pay three
months salary to the staff, adding that the five recommendations were the
immediate solutions to the problems and the rest for short and long time
Solutions.
Receiving
the report, Governor Abiodun said government could not afford toying with
the College as doing so would mean playing with the future of our youths of the
State who crave for quality education.
"Government
will look into the five content ones and decide on them. I want to assure you
that we will look into all the 33 recommendations and make our decision",
he noted.
Prince
Abiodun commended members of the panel for demonstrating high degree of
commitment, responsibility and patriotism by completing their assignment a week
