Administrative Law Case 2014 Uniilorin v Akinola

UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN - Appellants

AND

STEPHEN OLANREWAJU AKINOLA - Respondents

---

Summary

This appeal is against the decision of the Ilorin Division of the Court of Appeal also herein after referred to as the Court below or Lower Court, which judgment was delivered on the 8th day of June, 2007 upholding the decision of the trial High Court. The Plaintiff is a student of the University of Ilorin. He was admitted into the University in 1995 to study Statistics. His Matriculation No. is 95/043061. The Defendant is a University created and funded at public expense by the Federal Government of Nigeria and incorporated by and in the University of Ilorin Act Cap. 455 of the Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 1990. The Plaintiff/Respondent undertook a course of study for the award of a B.Sc. Degree in Statistics with the Defendant/Appellant between the year 1995 and the first quarter of the year 1999. In the course of his studentship with the Defendant/Appellant, he also partook of student unionism as a result of which he had a problem with the Appellant which led to a legal dispute in an earlier Suit NO. FHC/IL/M.17/98 which ended in his favour. The Defendant/Appellant refused to obey the judgment in the said suit for which reason the Plaintiff/Respondent commenced contempt proceedings against the Defendant/Appellant which then lodged an appeal against the said Judgment. Both contempt proceedings and the appeal were still pending when the Defendant's visitor, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria set up a committee known as the "Resolution Committee on Politically Victimized and Rusticated Students" headed by a Special Adviser to the President on Education, Chief S.K. Babalola, to mediate and conciliate the parties. The parties presented their case to the Presidential Committee and terms of settlement were agreed upon by which the Defendant agreed to pardon the Plaintiff/Respondent for whatever wrongs he was alleged to have committed subject to his fulfilling certain spelt out conditions. The Plaintiff/Respondent fulfilled the conditions set for his pardon, withdrew his contempt proceedings in Suit No. FHC/IL/M.17/98; and the Defendant/Appellant on the other hand notified the Plaintiff/Respondent of his pardon which was announced to the University Community, and abandoned its appeal against the judgment in that suit. The Defendant/Appellant despite repeated demands and pleas had since then continued to withhold the Plaintiff/Respondent's result without any official explanation other than that it was for "administrative and not disciplinary case". The Defendant had since that time continued to withhold the Plaintiff/Respondent's academic records. The reliefs as sought by the Respondent herein as Plaintiff are thus:- "(a) A DECLARATION that the Defendant is statutorily obliged to grant degrees to persons who have pursued a course of study approved by it and satisfied such other requirements as it may lay down. (b) A DECLARATION that it is illegal for the Defendant, either directly or surreptitiously, to require any person to satisfy any requirement as to religious or political persuasion to be or continue to be a student and the holder of any degree of the Defendant University. (c) A DECLARATION that the Plaintiff, having pursued and completed a course of study for the award of a B,Sc. Degree in Statistics, and also satisfied all other requirements prescribed by the Defendant and made known by it to the Plaintiff, is entitled to be awarded the same. (d) A DECLARATION that the Plaintiff is entitled to be given the full particulars of, and afforded an opportunity to defend himself on any "administrative... case" alleged to be pending against him or claimed by the Defendant to be responsible for the withholding of his academic records. (e) A DECLARATION that the withholding of the Plaintiff's academic records since 1998 when he completed the course of study prescribed by the Defendant for the award of a B.Sc. Degree in Statistics for reason of an alleged "administrative.... case" stated in the Defendant's letter Ref. No. UI/RO/D.14 dated 13th May, 2002 is capricious, oppressive, illegal, unlawful, and constitutes a gross abuse of the Defendant's statutory powers as contained in the University of Ilorin Act, Cap. 455 of the Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 1990. (f) A DECLARATION that the withholding of the Plaintiff's academic records since 1998 when he completed the course of study prescribed by the Defendant for the award of a B.Sc. Degree in Statistics for reason of an alleged "administrative.... case" stated in the Defendant's letter Ref. No. UI/RO.D.14 dated the 13th May, 2002 is punitive and in breach of the Defendant's right to a hearing before condemnation and punishment. (g) AN ORDER of specific performance of the agreement brokered at the instance of the Defendant's visitor, the President Commander in chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, whereby the parties agreed that the Plaintiff shall apologise for his student union activities and pay a restitution in the sum of N1,000.00 to the Defendant and the Defendant in consideration thereof shall restore to the plaintiff all the rights reserved for him as a member of the Defendant-University under the University of Ilorin Act, Cap. 455 of the Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 1995, which agreement was subsequently notified by the parties to and judicially noticed by the Court on the 29th day of October, 2001 in suit No. FHC/IL/M.17/98. (h) AN ORDER of mandamus compelling the Defendant to remove forthwith all the administrative (or like) impediments alleged by it to have prevented, and to take all the administrative (or like) steps required for the release of the Plaintiff's academic records including the Degree to which his completed course of study with the Defendant entitles him, and for the release of all said academic record and Degree forthwith. (i) DAMAGES, on a footing of exemplary damages, in the sum of N30,000,000.00." Two issues for determination was formulated thus; 1.Whether the Lower court did not wrongly evaluate the evidence of facts and the exhibits against the Appellant which thereby occasioned a miscarriage of justice. 2.Whether the Lower Court was not wrong in holding that the judgment of the trial Court did not infer from the letter of pardon that the Respondent need not satisfy other requirements. In conclusion,the two issues raised having been without difficulty resolved in favour of the Respondent and against the Appellant.The learned justice held that this appeal is devoid of merit and was accordingly dismissed.The judgment of the Court of Appeal was upheld and the decision and orders of the trial High Court affirmed.

on the Definition of a Director Case of LOnge v FBN PLc

PRINCIPLE--Director

"Section 244(1) of C.A.M.A. defines a director thus: "Meaning of directors. Directors of a company registered under this Act are persons duly appointed by the company to direct and manage the business of the company." (underlining mine) The statutory definition of directors above does not recognize the nomenclature raised by the court below as between executive and non-executive directors. Rather directors are those appointed by the company "to direct and manage the business of the company." How does one conclude that a 'managing director/chief executive' of a company is not a director of the company? The truth of course is that under any definition a, managing director is the directing mind and will and the alter ego of the company through which the company acts. It is indeed by virtue of his office that the plaintiff was able to give out some substantial amount as loan on behalf of the defendant. As I observed earlier, it is fair to say that the defendant on their pleadings did not plead that the plaintiff was not their director." Per OGUNTADE, JSC. (Pp. 53-54, paras. E-C)

Good news! All students and lecturers must read this

Universities, polytechnics and colleges of educations owned by the federal and state governments were on Tuesday presented allocation papers with which they can access this year’s Tertiary Education Trust Fund, TETFUND worth N135billion. Just before making the presentation, the Minister of Education, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau in an address disclosed that public universities will be getting N912million apiece; N661 million will go to each of the polytechnics while each college of education owned by federal and state government will be accessing N581million regular intervention funds. This happened at the 2014 Strategic Planning Workshop for benefiting institutions staged at the Idris Abdulkadir Auditorium in the National Universities Commission headquarters in Abuja. The event attracted vice chancellors, rectors, provosts and other principal officers of tertiary institutions across the country. The Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission was represented, as he was said to have gone on an inspection tour of new universities in the country. At least we can now be sure there won't be ASUU or ASUP strike for the next one year.

#Brinkbackour12soldiers

Yesterday, 12 Nigerians soldiers were sentenced to death by a court martial for their part in the mutiny that took place in Maiduguri, Borno State, when they protested internal sabotage in the war against Boko Haram, inadequate motivation, poor welfare and deliberate setting them up to be ambushed by the insurgents by their commanders. These are men who only acted out of frustration following the death of their colleagues. They observed, like several other Nigerians, that Nigeria is richer than Boko haram and all their sponsors, so why should they (boko haram) be more equipped and armed than the Nigerian military? How do they (boko haram) get information on the plan and movement of our soldiers? These are the questions which have been on the mind of these fearless soldiers but which they could not express due to fear of punishment from their superiors. However, the continuous killing of their colleagues by the insurgents forced out all they had in mind. Though they took it a bit far, these men protested, accusing their GOC of being the goat in sheep clothing. Though there are unconfirmed information that the accused the GOC has been quietly withdrawn from the post, the questions many Nigerians are asking are when will he also be taken to court for betraying his men, and indeed the whole nation? When will he be questioned on his relationship with the sect? As it has always been the case in Nigeria, laws are only made for the weak and defenceless members of the society. But these sentenced soldiers are not weak, they are strong with the masses behind them. They are not defenceless, the masses can and should rise to their defence. Nigerians must all rise to condemn the death sentence against these soldiers. Human right activists and groups must come together to ensure that this judgment is not actualised. All Nigerians via all available social media platforms should speak against this judgment. These soldiers must not die. They are still needed in the Nigerian military! They are still neede in the fight against boko haram. #bringbackour12soldiers

Unbelievable! Federal government to ban "kpomo"

Indications have emerged that the Federal Government may soon be banning the sale and consumption of hides and skins (kpomo) which is a delicacy to most Nigerians. According to Vanguard, this indication emerged on Tuesday, September 9, when Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina called for competent regulations that would check the consumption and sale of the product. Speaking at the 3rd joint anniversary of Animal Science Association of Nigeria (ASAN) and Nigeria Institute of Animal Science (NIAS) held at the University of Ibadan, Dr. Akinwumni noted that hides and skins ought to be tanned into leather for a very high profit return to the farmer and tanneries. According to him, if this is achieved, livestock farmers would stand good chances of making high profit returns. What do you think about this development? Should kpomo be converted from the meat that we enjoy consuming to leather to generate more profit for our farmers?

SAD!!! 9-year-old girl kills shooting instructor

A routine shooting lesson turned fatal when a young girl mistakenly killed her instructor. 39-year-old Charles Vaccawas teaching the girl how to use an Uzi rifle when she accidentally shot him in the head. The lesson was reportedly going fine until the gun was set to the “fully automatic” mode. The weapon then recoiled, went over the child’s head and discharged a bullet killing the teacher. I wonder why such a little girl was made to undergo such training in the first place. Is this not some form of child abuse? Anyway, may the soul of the departed rest in peace.

REVEALED!!!! WHO IS FELIX ATTAH (MUST READ)

Who is Felix Attah A.K.a (FLEX)

They say an Iroko tree is very stubborn to cut down and even difficult to bring down, well that is Felix Attah, he is a stubborn man for Nigerian students, he believes and thrives on the fundamental principle that Nigerian students should be informed first

Felix Attah is called Oracle not because he has a shrine somewhere but because he is a born Orator who cannot but voice out his dismay at certain “dastardous” acts and fight for Nigerian Students, No wonder he cannot talk without saying “an Injury to One is an Injury to all”

Dogged, wise, calculative, compassionate, uncompromising, patient, generous, are but a few of his qualities, he is also a team player and a political strategist but he has been with the NANS spirit since his childhood
