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)
