Authorities of the Lagos State University (LASU) have said that there is no ambiguity in the date of birth or the retirement status of its academic member and former Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Prof. Peter Okebukola.
An online newspaper last Saturday claimed documents obtained from the institution indicated discrepancies in the don’s bio-data, thereby making his retirement status appear foggy.
But clearing the air via a statement signed by the coordinator, Centre for Information, Press and Public Relations, Mr. Ademola Adekoya, the school affirmed: “Professor Peter Okebukola joined the service of Lagos State University transferring his service from the then Oyo State College of Education, Ilesa, and the date of birth on his Record of Service forwarded to the university by his former employer is February 17, 1951.”
