JUST IN: UNILAG Gives Reason For Tuition Fee Hike

The Governing Council of the University of Lagos (UNILAG)-led by Dr John Momoh has confirmed the election of Professor Folasade Ogunsola as the acting Vice-Chancellor of the institution.

Naija News reports that the Governing Council at a virtual meeting on Tuesday approved her election.

The inauguration of the visitor’s panel will hold in Abuja on Wednesday.

Recall that President Buhari had asked the embattled and sacked Vice-Chancellor UNILAG, Prof. Toyin Ogundipe to step aside.

Buhari also directed the Pro-Chancellor of the institution, Dr. Wale Babalakin to recuse himself from official duties.

The president directed the senate of the university to convene and nominate an acting vice-chancellor from among its members for the confirmation by the university council.

Following the directive, UNILAG Senate on Monday elected Prof. Folashade Ogunsola as the institution’s acting VC.
