Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke dissolves the Governing Council of Osun State University (UNIOSUN) and immediately reconstitutes a new council, announcing the change in a statement issued in Osogbo through his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed. Multiple outlets report that the governor presents the move as part of efforts to strengthen the university’s governance structure.
The stated reasons across reports focus on continuity in the university’s administration and avoiding operational gaps. All sources say the newly reconstituted council is chaired again by Sooko (Prof.) Adewale Abiodun Oladipo, who also led the dissolved council. Nigerian Eye adds further details by listing other council members named in the announcement and reporting a scheduled inauguration for Monday, August 31, 2026. The other outlets emphasize the dissolution and reconstitution but do not provide the same level of membership detail.
Overall, the outlets agree that the governor acts unilaterally to reset the council composition while keeping leadership continuity, with the new council charged to build on UNIOSUN’s achievements.
