A 300-level Medicine and Surgery Department in Bowen University, Iwo, Osun State, Iyanuoluwa Odedeji, was, yesterday, appointed one-day vice chancellor while Motunrayo Odusanya and Similoluwa Adeyemo emerged as deputies.
Odedeji, who sat as the vice chancellor during the Senate meeting of the university, had breakfast in the vice chancellor’s lodge and performed other duties in his capacity as the head of the institution.
Public Relations Officer of the university, Toba Adaramola, said the programme was initiated in 2020 as part of the university’s plan to prepare students for leadership positions.
He said Odusanya came second among the 10 students that participated in the examinations for the selection while Adeyemo came third.
“He has the privilege to run the university for one day. The ‘breakfast hall’ he commissioned was an initiative of the second one-day vice chancellor in 2021.
“Whatever he approves is considered approved by the university, and the salary of the vice chancellor shall be divided by 30 days and he would be given him one portion of it,” Adaramola said.
In his address, the one-day vice chancellor thanked God, the school management and the students, praying that his tenure would open the door to progress for the university.
