The House Secretary of the UI Student Union, Oluwole Ayomide Joy, Sanjay has on Saturday, 20th of January, 2024 been fined and sentenced to undergo community service by the Disciplinary Committee of the Student Representative Council.
This is coming after allegations of financial misappropriation and diversion of Union's funds to his personal account levied against him. Recall that last year, UCJ UI reported that the Speaker of the SRC had in a letter directed the disciplinary committee to investigate and recommend proper sanction to Sanjay for financial misappropriation.
While briefing the house on the outcome of their investigation and resolutions, the Chairman of the UISRC Disciplinary Committee, Akinola Emmanuel, revealed that the House Secretary was found guilty of leasing the SRC chambers indiscriminately and charging as he deemed fit.
In a letter addressed to the SRC by the committee, Sanjay was found Sanjay guilty of breach of constitution and negligence of due process. The Committee concluded in its resolutions that the House Secretary submit a letter of apology, pay a fine of N10,000, and carry out a community service as punishment.
The letter reads:
During the House sitting on Saturday, Sanjay submitted and read out his written apology during the sitting, while his community service punishment and it's duration are yet to be determined.
