University of Lagos (UNILAG) chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has barred the institution’s Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Council, Dr. Wale Babalakin, from entering the campus while calling for his sack.
The ban is a fall-out from the feud between the varsity’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, and it governing council culminating in the indefinite suspension of the 56th convocation ceremonies of the institution.
ASUU on Thursday at its congress passed the resolution warning Babalakin to steer clear of the campus.
The lecturers’ group Chairman, Dr. Dele Ashiru, said the Chairman of The Bi-Courtney Group of companies was too belligerent and it is either his way or the highway saying the VC did not act unilaterally on the controversial convocation in an interview with The Nation where they particularly called for his removal.
According to Ashiru: “Last year, the Pro-Chancellor unilaterally stepped down the name of Prof. Dele Oluwokudejo from the list of distinguished professors selected by the university’s Senate. He returned the name after people went to beg him.
“Consequent upon all of these infractions, our congress declared that he has done incalculable damage to the image of the university and should be removed.”
