The development was made official in a press release by the Oyo State government.

The reason for the governor doing this is related to two things.

Firstly, the sacked VC is from Osun state and the school is now solely belong to Oyo state after the peaceful resolution of the ownership of the school last year.

Secondly, in late February, when some staff of the school were protesting and agitating for their salary arrears, the VC has said the school does not have 8 billion and that the governor has not funded the school. A development the governor reacted to on his Twitter page saying the VC would have been fired for instigating the staff union against him having it is a military era.
