The Management of Ilaji Group has disclosed that inefficiency and pride led to the exit of Ajibola Akinyefa from Ilaji 91.9FM, an Ibadan, Oyo State-based private radio station.
The management stated this in a statement to clarify the circumstances of the resignation of Akinyefa as the General Manager of its radio station, Ilaji 91.9FM.
Recall that Akinyefa, popularly known as Bàbá Olómi, joined the radio station less than two month agos after announcing his departure from Lagelu 96.7FM, another Ibadan-based private radio station.
The Management of Ilaji Group alleged that Akinyefa’s inefficiency and pride influenced his resignation.
“Every organisation has set standards, processes and procedures that shape its operations and administration.
“Ilaji 91.9FM Radio is a unit within the conglomerate of businesses that constitute Ilaji Hotels and Sports Resort.
“Every unit is administered and managed with diligence, competence and strict adherence to professional ethics without compromise or any form of disregard to constituted authority or act of dishonesty.
“The hallmark of our corporate culture as a group includes discipline, teamwork and sense of ownership,” it was stated in the statement.
The Management of Ilaji Group also disclosed that Akinyefa exited voluntarily from the radio station, not because of any intimidation, as claimed by him.
“He simply discovered that his flagrant disregard to the constituted authority, self-destructive pride and inflated ego would have no place in our well-structured establishment.
“A change of name in designation from GM to HOS done in good faith for his development in management having failed woefully in the discharge of his duties.
“Let us remember that every position requires a duty, and every duty, a responsibility, and every responsibility, an obligation. At Ilaji, anything short of this is unacceptable,” it added.
The Ilaji Group Management therefore urged the public to disregard any news or information contrary to what it had stated.
