Mr. Rotimi Feruke (Bursar, UNIOSUN)

By the time all entreaties are actualized, chartered accountants in the Bursary Department and Audit unit of Osun State University will start joining their academic colleagues in the classroom to teach ICAN courses in part-time and other related programmes being run by the university. The University Bursar, Mr. Rotimi Feruke disclosed this on Thursday, 18th May, 2018, while receiving the ICAN supervision team in his office at the main Campus of the University, Osogbo.

According to him, necessary consultations have been made with the headship of relevant departments and faculty in the College of Management and Social Sciences to ensure that those with higher academic qualifications among the non-teaching chartered accountants are included in the list of facilitators in the University ICAN programmes. The Bursar commended ICAN for choosing Osun State University as one of the Examinations centers in the State.

He said:“This opportunity will not only encourage other aspiring staff, it would also go a long way in grooming the career of students, especially students of Accounting Department and related disciplines to become certified in their prime ages.” He also commended members for keeping to professional ethics in the face of numerous challenges.

In his remarks, the Chairman, Osun State and District Society, Mr. Emmanuel      Idowu said imbibing the ideals of the profession as a chartered accountant would lead to a drastic reduction in corruption cases in the country. He said: “If those of us in the field choose to obey the rules of the game, Nigeria will be better for it.”

The Chairman ICAN, Osun State University chapter, Mr. Samuel Obisesan, appreciated the team for the visit. The reception was attended by the chartered accountants in the Audit and Bursary Departments, including a former Acting Bursar of the University, Dr. Samuel Adegbite and the immediate past Acting Bursar, Mr. Mukaila Oyekanmi.
