The legislators, it was gathered, summoned the Auditor General for allegedly violating an existing order regarding the state of affairs of the Osun State College of Education, Ila-Orangun.

WAPLOADED gathered that the House Committee on Public Accounts had during its meeting with the College management and the Auditor General warned the two parties against public discussion on the state of affairs of the College.

The meeting also dwelt on how to allow for peaceful resolution of all pending issues in the institution.

He has now been summoned to appear before the House Committee on Public Accounts on Monday.

Meanwhile, Moshood Ganiyu and Co, a firm of chartered accountants, has cleared the Bursar, Rasheed Oyedeji of financial misappropriation.

The audit report of the firm showed that the Bursar was also commended for his diligent efforts at sanitising the College.

The Provost of the institution, Prof Jimoh Afolabi has also called on the State House of Assembly to expedite action on its report on the College.

He disclosed that the House Committee on Public Accounts had in January met with the management of the College and the Auditor General with a view to investigating the financial transactions of the College.

WAPLOADED had reported that the Osun Auditor General had given the College Bursar a 21-day ultimatum to produce the misappropriated funds or face the full weight of the law.
