Thomas Okosun Resigns As Pro-Chancellor Of Tayo Akpata Varsity

Former Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly and Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Governing Council of Tayo Akpata University of Education, Rt. Hon. Thomas Okosun, has resigned his appointment with the institution which has failed to take off over four years of its establishment.
His resignation was contained in a letter to the state governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki.
Okosun in the letter, lamented alleged neglect of the university, which was set up by the former administration of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
He explained that his decision was to enable him focus on other “very important personal matters for now as the university, unfortunately, has not taken off as earlier envisaged.
“Let me use this opportunity to thank Comrade Adams Oshiomhole who offered me the appointment and your humble self for allowing me to continue in office since you assumed office on November 12, 2016.”
Oshiomhole had upgraded the then College of Education to a full-fledged university, but the institution has not commenced activities ever since.
There has been series of protests by some individuals and groups over the failure of the state government to take necessary steps for the take off of the supposed university.
