Ogundipe was removed from office in August, 2020, under a controversial circumstance by the then Wale Babalakin-led governing council of the University.

The Senate of the university again sacked Soyombo and elected the deputy vice-chancellor in charge of development services, Folasade Ogunsola, as the institution’s acting vice-chancellor.

According to the source, Ogundipe has been asked to return to office.
