UNILAG Battle: Ogundipe Dares Babalakin

Malik Yahya/

Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe has issued a statement deriding the announcement of his removal as the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) at an extraordinary meeting held in Abuja by members of the governing council headed by Dr Wale Babalakin.

The statement says, Re: Notice to the General Public on the Removal of the Vice-Chancellor, the University of Lagos by Oladejo Azeez, Esq
The attention of the University of Lagos (Unilag) management has been drawn to the ‘Notice to the General Public on the Removal of the Vice-Chancellor, University of Lagos’; dated August 12, 2020, and signed by Oladejo Azeez, Esq, Registrar and Secretary to Council, stating that the current Vice-Chancellor, Professor Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe, FAS  has been removed from office with immediate effect… 

“This is untrue and a figment of his imagination. Therefore, stakeholders of Unilag and the general public are advised to disregard this mischievous disinformation about the sitting Vice-Chancellor of Unilag, contained in that notice. Professor Ogundipe still remains Unilag’s Vice-Chancellor.  
Thank you. 

Signed

Professor Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe, FAS  

Vice Chancellor, UNILAG
