Breaking: UNILAG Senate Meets to Nominate Acting VC

Matilda Omonaiye/

Members of the Senate of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) are currently meeting to nominate an acting Vice Chancellor.

The meeting holding at the university’s main auditorium, is in compliance with last week’s directive by federal government for it to reconvene to appoint an acting VC, following the controversial suspension of the incumbent, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe by the Governing Council.

The Federal Government had also directed the institution’s Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Council, Dr. Wale Babalakin, and Ogundipe to recuse themselves from official duties, pending the outcome of the Special Visitation Panel set up by the President Muhammadu Buhari.

The acting VC appointed by the Governing Council, Prof Omololu Soyombo, announced that he was stepping down from office on Saturday.
