The Federal University, Oye Ekiti, Ekiti State, has cleared a female student, Ramota Olahanloye, to graduate after re-marking her final-year examination scripts.
Olahanloye had accused Dr. Anthony Agbegbedia, a lecturer, of demanding sexual favours in exchange for grades adding that when she refused, he allegedly failed her in two final-year courses.
A statement issued by the Special Adviser on Media to the Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Wole Balogun, confirmed that Olahanloye’s allegations were investigated, and her scripts re-marked.
“The young lady’s scripts were re-marked, and she performed fairly better than the scores initially awarded by Dr. Anthony Agbegbedia,” the statement read.
