EKSU Disavows Damaging Report on Ekiti First Lady, Highlights Her Contributions to Education.
In a recent press release, the Management of Ekiti State University, Ado - Ekiti (EKSU), has strongly disassociated itself from a disparaging report circulating on social media platforms concerning the activities of Ekiti State's First Lady, Her Excellency, Dr. (Mrs.) Olayemi Oyebanji.
The report in question, attributed to an individual claiming to be an EKSU graduate, criticized the First Lady's decision to provide services, particularly in advocacy and education, at the Afe Babalola University, Ado - Ekiti (ABUAD). The report alleged that children of well-off individuals were attending ABUAD while insinuating that the First Lady was neglecting the educational needs of the masses who voted for her husband.
However, the Management of EKSU was quick to clarify that Dr. (Mrs.) Olayemi Oyebanji has not violated any regulations by choosing to offer her professional services wherever she deems fit, with the intention of imparting knowledge and contributing to her community's betterment.
The university also highlighted the First Lady's continued support for EKSU since her husband, His Excellency, Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, assumed the governorship of Ekiti State. Dr. (Mrs.) Oyebanji has actively engaged with the university community by supporting events like the Medical Students' week and candidates of the JAMB Equal Opportunity Group. She has also attended various faculty conferences and inaugural lectures.
Remarkably, Dr. (Mrs.) Oyebanji has expressed her commitment to education by volunteering to teach at EKSU's Department of Educational Management. As a result, a 300-level course has been assigned to her, commencing from the first semester of the 2022/2023 academic session.
EKSU's Vice Chancellor, Prof. Edward Olanipekun, publicly acknowledged the First Lady's dedication to education during one of the inaugural lectures she attended.
The Management of Ekiti State University expressed its complete disassociation from the damaging report and its author. It emphasized the importance of understanding the purpose of community service and acknowledged Dr. (Mrs.) Olayemi Oyebanji's unwavering commitment to education and community development.
