The situation within the Federal University Ado-Ekiti has taken a different turn after the leadership of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Ekiti State Chapter, declared a State of Emergency over what it described as a move “to end impunity and restore integrity in FUOYE.”
The NYCN in a letter dated 29th October 2025 and jointly signed by its Chairman, Amb. James Bankole and its General Secretary, Silas Olawale said “after exhausting all official channels,” including submission of “a detailed petition to the presidency, relevant ministries, and national anti-corruption and security agencies, exposing the corruption and moral decays threatening FUOYE,” it was time for a decisive action.
The NYCN Ekiti State Chapter said it will relocate its Operational Headquarters to FUOYE main campus from Monday 3rd of November, 2025, stage a daily peaceful mass protest until their “non-negotiable demands” are met.
Their demands include the suspension of the University’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Abayomi Fasina, the removal of the Governing Council Chairman, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, independent investigation of all sexual abuse cases and prosecution of offenders, suspension of the ongoing Vice-Chancellorship selection process, a forensic audit of FUOYE’S finances since 2021 and the restoration of lawful governance and protection for whistle blowers.
The NYCN called on all students, youth and civil society groups to join them to liberate FUOYE from corruption and misuse of university funds, manipulated Vice-Chancellorship appointment process, sexual harassment and moral decay.
