Court bars Adeleke from appointing rector for Osun Poly

The Lagos division of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) Friday granted an interim order restraining Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and 14 others from appointing a Rector for the Osun State Polytechnic, Iree.

Justice Opeloye Ogunbowale made the order while granting an ex parte motion filed by the suspended Rector of the institution, Dr. Tajudeen Odetayo challenging what he described as his “illegal suspension.”

 Justice Ogunbowale also ordered Governor Adeleke and other respondents to stay further action on the institution, pending hearing of the motion on notice.

 He directed that a hearing notice be issued to all respondents before the next adjourned date.

The orders were sequel to a motion ex parte moved by the claimant/applicant’s counsel, Mr. Rasheed Adeniyi Oluwofobi, who prayed the court grant the applications in the interest of justice and public interest.
