FUOYE Suspends Two Officials, SUG President Over Extortion
The Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) has suspended two of its officials alongside the Students’ Union Government (SUG) president over allegations of extortion involving students. The university management said the decision followed preliminary investigations into claims that some officials were involved in collecting unauthorized fees from students under questionable circumstances. According to the institution, the suspension is part of efforts to ensure transparency, accountability, and discipline within the university community. The affected officials and the SUG president are expected to face further investigation as the university’s disciplinary committee continues its review of the matter. Students had earlier raised concerns over alleged financial misconduct, prompting calls for administrative action and reform within the student leadership structure. University authorities said they are committed to protecting students from exploitation and maintaining ethical standards in all administrative and student-led activities. The institution also warned that any form of extortion or abuse of office will not be tolerated under its regulations. Stakeholders within the university community have described the action as a step toward restoring trust and discipline on campus. The management assured that due process will be followed in determining the final outcome of the investigation. Further updates are expected as the disciplinary committee concludes its findings.
