Some professors at the University of Ibadan have backed the decision of the newly constituted university council to restart the process of electing the 13th Vice-Chancellor of the institution.

They stated this in separate interviews with the news men in Ibadan on Saturday as news filtered in on the decision of the UI council.

Reports have it that, the process of electing the 13th VC for the premier university had been marred with.various allegations on the processes set by the former VC, Prof. Idowu Olayinka.

The UI VC race started in May 2020.

It was also gathered that the decision to restart the VC selection process was reached at a meeting of the university council held on Friday and presided over by its Chairman, Chief John Oyegun.

The council also resolved that apart from the cancellation, the VC position should be re- advertised.

The meeting also set a new timetable for the commencement of the new process to be released
in the second week of July, 2021.

Reacting to the development, a Professor of Guidance and Counselling at the university, Oyesoji Aremu, said the decision was a welcome development as the council sought to start the whole process afresh.

“Oh! it is a simple thing and of course,.straightforward. It means the new Council wants to start on a clean slate.

“This is commendable and should be gratifying to.all parties both within and outside, given the various shenanigans that greeted the last exercise,”
he said.

Also, Francis Egbokhare, a Professor of Linguistics, Faculty of Arts, UI, said it was the right thing to do because the context was already too quasi and contentious.

Egbokhare said if the council continued with the old process, the institution would be having a divided university along with religion, cartel, and canals over the next four to five years.

“It would have led also to a very toxic academic climate, where professors would be more into politics and not their academic callings.

“So, it is best that the council should reset the starting point.

“And I hope that those who led us into this quagmire would have learnt their lessons. The information on the ground is that people have been entrenched into various positions capable of undermining the process.

“I hope that council will be able to manage the situation so that there would be a sense of fairness and community in the way people approach it, and not just from the point of view of council alone but UI community itself,” Egbokhare said.

The don further urged the new council to earn the trust of the UI community and see to it that people are not contesting based on political power but their academic contributions as well as thencapacity to make a difference in the system.

Egbokhare said the council must address the various challenges that had stalled the process in the past, not just to produce a VC but to return the institution to a climate where ideas rule without biases for ethnicity or religion.

A Consultant Neurosurgeon, Prof. Adefolarin Malomo, said UI being a transitional institution was very reflective and slow but supersede others having learnt from its mistakes.

“Decisions like this for most people in UI is a matured way forward but then all hands must be
back on deck to ensure that the most suitable hands for our next mission in approaching our
vision will be the man that emerged as the VC,” he said.

Malomo noted that the old process for electing the new VC was a bit unusual of UI.

He added that now the heat has died down and the fume has subsided and light is beginning to show forth and that is the way UI really is.

“And we believe this will give us back our normal UI mentality,” Malomo said.

Recalls that an acting VC, Prof Adebola Ekanola, was put in place on Dec. 1, 2020 for a period of six months, after the Olayinka administration could not follow through with the process of electing a new VC.

However, the crises lingered till the end of the old Council under the Chairmanship of Nde Joshua Waklek with various allegations of misconduct, manipulation and biases from members of the UI community on the election process.

This led to the extension of the tenure of the acting VC, who also has been unable to complete
the process of electing a VC before the embargo placed on the process by the Ministry of education
through the National Universities Commission.

  1. ‘We barely made it out’: Californians desperately flee their homes amid raging wildfires

    Terrie Morin, 60, and her husband, Dave, were at the barber shop when they heard about a raging wildfire making headway toward their Camarillo home on Wednesday morning.

    The couple were hosting two guests at the time, but because their guests worked late, Morin suspected they slept through the residence’s fire alarms.

    “I run in the house, and I’m banging on the door, and they did not hear me. They were knocked out,” Morin told CNN. “Get the dog. Get out of here. You don’t have time, just get out!” she recalled telling them.

    Ten minutes later, Dave noticed sparks in their backyard. The temperature was also picking up.

    “It was hot. It was so hot,” Morin recalled.

    Dozens of homes in California’s Ventura County were set alight in a sweeping wildfire that burned through thousands of acres of land in just a matter of hours midweek –– prompting authorities to send more than 14,000 evacuation notices across the region.

    The Mountain Fire began early Wednesday and was driven by winds gusting over 60 mph. The flames have seared through more than 20,485 acres of land, according to Cal Fire.

    The families who evacuated at a moment’s notice, some who say they have now lost their homes, must deal with other losses that can also be devastating, from daily essentials like medications and shoes to meaningful possessions such as sculptures and artwork, to treasured keepsakes from the birth of a child or the life of a parent.

    At least 132 properties have been destroyed by the fire, while 88 have been left damaged, Ventura County Fire Department officials said Thursday evening. Ten damage inspection teams have been deployed to inspect structures along the path of the blaze.

    Ten people endured non-life-threatening injuries from the Mountain Fire, which are mostly related to smoke inhalation, Ventura County Sheriff Jim Fryhoff said.

  3. Earth ring theory may shed light on an unexplained ancient climate event, scientists say

    Famously known for its extensive ring system, Saturn is one of four planets in our solar system that have the distinctive feature. And now, scientists hypothesize that Earth may have sported its own ring some 466 million years ago.

    During the Ordovician Period, a time of significant changes for Earth’s life-forms, plate tectonics and climate, the planet experienced a peak in meteorite strikes. Nearly two dozen impact craters known to occur during this time were all within 30 degrees of Earth’s equator, signaling that the meteoroids may have rained down from a rocky ring around the planet, according to a study published September 12 in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters.

    “It’s statistically unusual that you would get 21 craters all relatively close to the equator. It shouldn’t happen. They should be randomly distributed,” said lead author Andrew Tomkins, a geologist and professor of Earth and planetary sciences at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.

    Not only does the new hypothesis shed light on the origins of the spike in meteorite impacts, but it also may provide an answer to a previously unexplained event: A global deep freeze, one of the coldest climate events in Earth’s history, may have been a result of the ring’s shadow.

    Scientists are hoping to find out more about the possible ring. It could help answer the mysteries of Earth’s history as well as pose new questions about the influence an ancient ring could have had on evolutionary development, Tomkins said.
