Recent appointments of the Registrar and Bursar at The Federal Polytechnic, Ayede in Oyo State have prompted controversy over allegations of not following due process. The management appointed Mr. Oluseyi Afolabi and Mrs. Dairo Elizabeth, but some stakeholders are questioning whether these new appointees satisfied the required qualifications for their respective positions. This has led to a review of the recruitment procedures utilized by the institution's governing body.

In response to these concerns, Sunday Adepoju, the acting Director of the Centre for Information, Communication and Public Relations at Ayede Polytechnic, stated that the appointments were handled with care and attention by the Governing Council. He emphasized that the Council, responsible for overseeing such decisions, believes they acted appropriately in selecting candidates through interviews and assessments to ensure they found the best fit for the institution. This statement aims to reassure stakeholders of the legitimacy of the appointments amidst rising doubts.

The implications of this controversy could be significant, as it not only affects the individuals involved but also impacts the university's reputation and its governance structure. Potentially, if due process was indeed not followed, there could be challenges to the appointments, which may lead to further investigations or changes in the administration. This situation highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in appointments within educational institutions, underscoring the need for adherence to established protocols to maintain public trust.
