The Management of University of Ilesa has said that the Adedoyin Temitope did not graduate from the university adding that the university is yet to graduate its first set of student.

Recall that it was reported on Tuesday (not by Osun Spring) that a graduate of University of Ilesa was arrested for protesting the failure of the University to mobilize him for NYSC.

The University management in a statement by its Registrar, Funso Ojo noted that available records indicate that Adedoyin completed a programme formerly run by the defunct Osun State College of Education, Ilesa, in affiliation with the University of Ibadan, prior to the establishment of the University of Ilesa.

He maintained that issues relating to his NYSC mobilization are understood to be connected to the regularization of his admission with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), a process that is not directly within the control of the University.

The statement reads, “The attention of the Management of the University of Ilesa has been drawn to a media report alleging that a graduate of the University, Mr. Adedoyin Temitope (also referred to as Aregbe), was arrested following a protest over an alleged delay in his mobilization for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

“The University wishes to clarify that the report is inaccurate and potentially misleading. The University of Ilesa is yet to graduate its first set of students, as the pioneer cohort admitted in 2023 is currently in their third year of study.

“Available records indicate that the individual referenced in the report completed a programme formerly run by the defunct Osun State College of Education, Ilesa, in affiliation with the University of Ibadan, prior to the establishment of the University of Ilesa. Issues relating to his NYSC mobilization are understood to be connected to the regularization of his admission with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), a process that is not directly within the control of the University.

“Notwithstanding, the University, through its Student Affairs Division, has been engaging relevant stakeholders to provide necessary guidance and support toward an amicable resolution of the matter.

“The Management of the University of Ilesa remains committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism, due process, and respect for the rights of all individuals. The institution will continue to operate within the ambit of the law while fostering a peaceful and conducive academic environment.”
