The Rector of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), Abeokuta, Arc. Tokunbo Fowode, has been relieved of his appointment. In his place, Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State has appointed a former Dean of the Department of Pharmaceutics and Industrial Pharmacy, University of Ibadan, Professor Oludele Adelanwa Itiola. The appointment takes immediate effect. LEADERSHIP gathered that the sack of Fowode came on the heels of the freezing of the various bank accounts of the institution by the state government. A four-paragraph letter by the state Accountant-General, Mr. Seye Senfuye, dated September 17, conveyed the decision of government to freeze the polytechnic‘s accounts. The government directed all banks dealing with the institution to freeze “all manner of accounts –current, deposit and savings.” The memo, however, stated that payments could be made into the accounts but no withdrawals unless otherwise cleared from the Accountant-General. Fowode, who hails from Ijebu-Ode, had his second term as rector renewed on May 10, 2010 by the immediate past administration of Otunba Gbenga Daniel. For about three years now, however, the polytechnic has been running without a Governing Council. Until his appointment as new MAPOLY Rector, Itiola was a senior lecturer at the Department of Pharmaceutics and Industrial Pharmacy, University of Ibadan. He was the Dean of the department between 2001 and 2005
