His
administration, he said, would not condone any form of sexual immorality
or other vices in any of Ogun State-run institutions of higher
learning.
Prince Dapo Abiodun, who made this
known at the 11th Convocation Ceremony of the Tai Solarin University of
Education (TASUED), Ijagun, Ijebu-Ode, said that the much talked about
whistleblower going around higher institutions on the sexual harassment
issue is a thing of shame that shouldn't happen in any tertiary
institution where discipline is taken seriously.
Abiodun
commended the Vice Chancellor of the Institution, Prof.Abayomi Arigbabu
for the sensitization and warning publications embarked upon on the
pages of national dallies, saying that the zero tolerance of the
Institution is a pointer that indiscipline from any staff will not be
condoned.
"Government," he said "notes with
pride the sensitization and warning publication by the Vice Chancellor
of this great Institution. This Government will not close its eyes to
indiscipline and unwholesome attitude on the part of any staff."
Abiodun
also commended the TASUED for maintaining an uninterrupted academic
calendar and for being the most peaceful tertiary institution in the
country.
The
Governor added that in order for school curricula to be relevant to the
dynamics of the 21st century, the State Government had begun matching
"'the gown with the town' to make both mutually beneficial."
This
marriage between town and gown is being operationalised to provide a
platform that creates and strengthens regular interface between the
industry and the academia so as to ensure that the curricula equips the
products of tertiary institutions in the State with the required
competence.
He
noted that institutions of higher learning should continuously
incorporate in their various school curricula, the needs of the people
which he said would eventually power the development of the individual
and the society.
