Governor Rotimi Akeredolu has terminated the appointment of his Special Assistant on Youths and Students’ Affairs, Banji Adewumi.
Mr Adewumi, who was appointed in 2017, was sacked for neglect of duties and responsibilities.
“It was recently discovered that Mr Adewumi has abandoned the office and his responsibilities for some months now, and that he is no longer resident in the country,” this was contained in a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Segun Ajiboye.
The press statement was sent to POLITICS NIGERIA on Friday evening.
According to the Governor, Mr Adewumi’s absence from office has made the office to suffer serious neglect, which if left unattended to, may lead to incalculable damage in the relationship between the government and the students’ population.
However, Mr Akeredolu has approved the appointment of Mr. Ogunyemi Olumuyiwa Ojo to replace Mr Adewumi as his new Special Assistant on Youths and Students’ Affairs.
“The Governor wishes the new appointee success in his job and to see his assignment as a challenge to create a platform for robust relationship between the government and Youths in the state,” Ajiboye wrote.
