According to the statement, signed by the Director of Press, Folashade Boriowo, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba SAN has been reassigned as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of FUOYE, while Engr. Kayode Ojo will now serve in the same capacity at FULokoja.
The statement read, “Following approval by His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the swapping involves Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba SAN being reassigned as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, while Engr. Kayode Ojo will assume the same role at Federal University, Lokoja.
“This change follows the observation that the current Pro-Chancellor of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, Engr. Kayode Ojo is an indigene of Ekiti State.

This ensures unbiased governance and supports the core values of diversity and national unity.”
