The Federal University, Oye Ekiti, Ekiti State, has cleared Ramota Olahanloye, a female student, to graduate after her final-year examination scripts were re-marked.
Olahanloye had accused Dr. Anthony Agbegbedia, a lecturer at the university, of demanding sexual favours from her, claiming that when she rejected his advances, he deliberately failed her in two final-year courses.
In a statement issued on Friday by Dr. Wole Balogun, the Special Adviser on Media to the Vice-Chancellor, the university confirmed that Olahanloye’s allegations were investigated and her scripts were 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.
Balogun added that the university management had approved Olahanloye’s revised results, which made her eligible for graduation.
However, he disclosed that Agbegbedia had been sanctioned by the institution for his misconduct.
