Ololade Adeyanju/

The Chairman of Channels TV and President of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) Alumni Association Worldwide, Dr John Momoh, has been appointed as interim chairman of UNILAG Governing Council.

Momoh’s first task is the ratification of the election of a new acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof Folashade Ogunsola.

Reports say the result of the election has been forwarded to the governing council by the Deputy Registrar and Director of Academic Affairs, Mrs Olakunle Makinde.

Due to the crisis that rocked UNILAG, the Federal Government had asked the Governing Council chairman, Dr Wale Babalakin, and the Vice-Chancellor, Prof Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, to step aside.

The government also directed the university’s Senate to meet and elect a new acting VC.

Following the government directive, the Senate on Monday elected Prof Folashade Ogunsola as acting VC.
