The crisis rocking Lagos State University (LASU) over the
blocking of 1,292 students from the institution’s portal that would have
enabled them to register their 2012/2013 second semester courses took a
twist, on Friday, as the university management insisted that the school
remained shut down, noting that the damage of the students was
unquantifiable.
The
Vice Chancellor, Prof. John Obafunwa, who spoke to Sunday Vanguard,
after a meeting with members of the Lagos State House of Assembly
(LAHA), on Friday, disclosed that the management was uncertain when the
school will re-open as an assessment of the damages caused by the
students’ protest needed to be carried out and measures taken to clean
up the university. Under a matter of urgency in its plenary session, on
Thursday, the House had summoned the VC and his management team, the
Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Governing Council, Mr. Bode Agusto, the
Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Olayinka Oladunjoye, the Special
Adviser to the Governor on Education, Otunba Fatai Olukoga, and members
of the Students’ Union Government to appear before it in order to
ascertain the root causes of the chaos, while proffering solutions.
LASU-PROTESTnew When Sunday Vanguard visited the Ojo main campus and
other external campuses of the university, yesterday, they remained
under lock and key, with fierce looking policemen manning the gates.
