Dear Sir
PUBLIC COMPLAINT COMMITTEE IN ESUT – A Charade
We wish to react to the bungling efforts of the top management of ESUT in indirectly and mischievously addressing some of the issues we have raised in several letters, reports and petitions released since 19 December, 2011. We note with displeasure the deceptive undertone and gross mischief in the recent management circular, dated 16th April, 2012; setting up Public Complaint Committee in ESUT with a claim to opening up management responsiveness to the ESUT community.
At the surface, a gullible individual will term it a paradigm shift from the original management posture of lord and master of ESUT; but incisively, it is only a tool devised to witch-haunt and track some suspected individuals whom the system had hurt irredeemably but still believed by the same system have been given us information and writing other petitions.
We wish to remind the Vice Chancellor and his management team that they are suffering from their own corruption which had led them inexorably into credibility problems and dehydrated trusts. We have written several letters, reports and petitions where we supplied evidence of several injustices and man inhumanity to man. Ever since then, the Vice Chancellor, Prof C.O. Onyeji and his management team had done nothing to address any of those issues instead, they are on the voyage of cover-up of some desirable personae. Is it the lack of promotion; where many lecturers with PhDs, some earned in 1980s, who have successfully written and published books, papers in reputable journals and supervised masters and PhD students and are not promoted till date? Is it the profusely reported case of sexual harassment, extortion, abuse of office, intimidation of staff and students and so on, had they been addressed? Is it the frustration deliberately inflicted on staff and students in ESUT, has it been addressed? Is it the deliberate exclusion of some staff from merited positions in their departments, units and faculties? Is it the bestial rustication of the 544 ESUT students? How do this Prof C.O. Onyeji led management want to be trusted? Why should one set a committee to kill a snake when he should have taken a stick to kill the snake? This is just perambulating!
Oh! Yes! The management of ESUT have started doing something. Of course, they have begged Prof S.I. Oluka through the Director of Academic Planning to return the debris of his loot in the Fidelity Bank to school coffers within one month! It should be recalled that this is the illegally extorted money from Engineering Students! If Prof S.I. Oluka is guilty of extortion, the directive by the Management of ESUT made them share greater responsibilities in the extortion saga. This implies that it was the Vice Chancellor and Co. that facilitated Prof S.I. Oluka’s extortion. (We shall treat this directive in greater detail in our next release).
Furthermore, why should the Director of Academic Planning and not the Registrar issue such directive? (sic: anyway it is just an appeal to Lord S.I. Oluka) The mischief in this directive is that it is a grand design to cover-up Prof S.I. Oluka and his collaborators’ fraud as there would be no filing of this directive against this man. Where is the Director of Academic Planning Secretariat? Does the Director of Academic Planning have such locus and competence to issue such order?
This is another clear evidence that the Registrar of ESUT, Barr Chris Igbokwe is not an issue when Prof S.I. Oluka is involved. That is why he purposefully derelict and abdicate his duty to the Director of Academic Planning who has no locus whatsoever in writing such letters and giving such directives.
In view of the foregoing and consequent upon the elucidated realities, it is clear that the so-called Public Complaint Committee in ESUT is a charade and a calculated attempt to deceive the public. Let the management do the right thing first, respond to issues raised and then call for trust. Trust can only be gained when justice is done and seen to be done! We are not fools, we are not blind, we know when the right is done and only then will we trust such circulars.
God bless ESUT
