The vice-chancellor warned against gatherings that could violate the social distancing rules amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

The vice-chancellor of the University of Lagos , Akoka, Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, has ordered that the proposed physical emergency congress meeting of the Academic Staff Union of Universities , UNILAG chapter and others be suspended as a measure to avoid the spread of coronavirus.

But in its letter to the workers’ unions on the campus, the vice-chancellor warned against gatherings that could violate the social distancing rules amidst the coronavirus pandemic. “…Consequent upon this, the vice-chancellor has directed that I informed all the unions that no meeting should hold at the council chamber foyer under any disguise.”

“We acknowledge the vice-chancellor’s memo and our layers of leadership are currently reviewing the situation. We are not oblivious of the pandemic and the danger it poses but we will communicate the union’s position appropriately soon,” Mr Ashiru told our reporter on the phone.
