The UNILAG Leviathan, Dr. Wale Babalakin, Bears His Fangs Again By Dele Ashiru | Sahara Reporters Our union therefore condemns in the strongest terms this wicked, inhuman, egoistic, retrogressive, unconscionable and satanic postponement of... READ MORE:
ASUU UNILAG received with rude shock the news of the postponement of the 51st convocation ceremony of the University of Lagos schedule for 9th-12th of March, 2020 barely four days to it's commencement. Preliminary investigations by our union reveals that the postponement was occasioned by the Pro-Chancellor's unilateral complaint to the Ministry of Education that the"2019 convocation ceremonies were not approved by Council" contrary to available evidence.
That the Ministry of Education could by fiat request the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission to"advice the Vice Chancellor to suspend the university's convocation ceremony without investigating the veracity of the Pro-Chancellor's claim is not only worrisome but highly depressing. It is a blatant erosion of academic freedom and university autonomy for which our union has consistently fought for over the years.
