The Students Representative Body of Ife Physiotherapy and Occupational therapy Students' Association of the departmet of Medical Rehabilitation, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-ife, Osun State, has impeached the Public Relations Officer of the association.
The impeachment of the Public Relations Officer, Samuel David came as a result of gross misconduct.
According to one of the Principal officers of the Students Representative Body who pleaded anonymity while he was quizzed by OAU KILONSHELE, he made it known that the Public Relations Officer was impeached due to gross misconduct and neglect of office duties stating that it was agreed by 2/3 majority of members of the Body that the Public Relations Officer should be impeached.
"The PRO was impeached on the grounds of gross misconducts and negligence of duty which was affirmed by two third of the SRB."
"This is the basic requirement for impeachment of an officer of the association as stipulated by the constitution of IFUTSA," he said
Another student of the department who spoke with OAU KILONSHELE, stated that the Students' Representative Body has instructed the Public Relations Officer to carry out his constitutional duties such as attending the Students' Representative Body meetings, establishment of Editorial Team but the Public Relations Officer has failed to carry them out.
In a press statement released by the Students Representative Body, it was stated that the impeachment of the Public Relations officer was due to myriads of reasons ranging from his "Failure of the PRO to get an approval before leaving a Budget and Audit Committee Meeting on the 10th of May, 2019 and also missing a re-scheduled meeting with the same committee on the 14th of May, 2019 without any prior notice of his absence, only for an apology letter to be written to the Speaker 4 days to the sitting which held on the 25th of May, 2019." the statement reads.
It was also said that the Public Relations Officer failed to present the proposed members of the Editorial committee to Student Representative Body.
"Failure to submit a list of names for proposed members of the Editorial committee by the time stipulated by the Constitution in ARTICLE V, S.C (2) at the Second Business Meeting which held on the 25th of April, 2019 on the basis of HEALTH ISSUES, After which he was given the grace to bring the list at the NEXT SRB SITTING which held yesterday, 25th of May, 2019 exactly 4 weeks after."
" It is worthy to note to the entire members of the Association that the PRO came into the sitting at some minutes past 4PM for a Sitting scheduled for 12PM without any notice of coming late. The PRO finally submitted the Lists at about 6PM yesterday." the statement reads.
Meanwhile, as at the time of writing this report, all efforts to reach the Public Relations Officer to hear his own side of the story proved abortive as all phone calls and messages were not acknowledged.
