UI'SU PRO Accused of Diverting Union Fund Into Personal Account

The University of Ibadan Student Union Public Relation Officer, Olalekan Michael Ajibola popularly known as OMA Our PRO, has been accused of diverting union funds into his personal account.

The celebrity PRO was exposed by an investigative journalist writing for Indy Press, a reputable press organization in the University of Ibadan. OMA controls the handling of the UI'SU TV, a campus TV for the whole institution, which has more than 5, 000 viewers according to reports.

The embattled PRO, according to the news published by Indy Press, who controlled the handling of the UI'SU TV used his number for the TV. It was reported that he tried to make the WhatsApp TV his after his tenure.

It was also known that OMA charged advertisers 2 thousands for a day, 5 thousands for 3 days and 10 ten thousands for 3 days, with all the money entering into his account directly.

The act is against the constitution of the University of Ibadan Student Union. It was stated in the constitution that all funds should be directed into the union account. And when needs be, on a special occasion, it should be directed into the treasurer's account.

When contacted, according to a report on ucjui.com, OMA agreed that he had violated the law. Nonetheless, he stated that he disregarded the constitution because it is outdated. He also agreed that he did not inform the SRC concerning how he had been contravening the UI'SU constitution when there was an urgent need to amend it.

He argued that the UI'SU TV is an innovation and his office should be given the legal back up to receive funds and allocate resources when needs be.

In the wake of the report, the PRO, Olalekan Michael Ajibola, debunked the allegation, saying that the news was written by a notorious investigative journalist who is well known to being unprofessional in his reports.
