LASU Acting VC Shuns Office Over Juju Scare by Episteme2(m): 9:35am On Nov 18, 2015 |
More than 12 days after his appointment as the acting Vice-
Chancellor of the Lagos State University, Prof. Fidelis
Njokanma has refused to occupy his office at the Ojo
campus of the institution, our correspondent gathered on
Tuesday.
Instead, Njokanma, who is a professor of Medicine, is
operating from the institution’s College of Medicine at Ikeja.
It was learnt that the delay in resumption was because the
acting VC was scared of the charms surrounding the
Administrative Block and the Senate Building of the
institution. The Admin Block houses the office of the VC as
well as those of other principal officers of the institution.
Our correspondent gathered that Njokanma presided over
his first Senate meeting last Wednesday at LASUCOM amid
tight security.
The Lagos State Government through the university’s
Governing Council led by Prof. Adebayo Ninalowo,
appointed Njokanma, who hitherto was the Deputy VC,
Academic, as the acting VC on November 7.
He took over the reins of office from the immediate past VC,
Prof. John Obafunwa.
The desecration of the Admin Block and the Senate Building
with charms reportedly took place on March 16, 2015, at the
height of the dispute between Obafunwa and members of
the Academic Staff Union of Universities and the Senior Staff
Association of Nigerian Universities, among other unions in
the institution.
Obafunwa, who the union members accused of
maladministration, also did at use the building in the last six
months leading to the end of his tenure. His first four years
as the VC of the university ended on October 31.
Other principal officers of the institution also shunned their
offices in the building.
Meanwhile, the leadership of the Student Union of the
university on Tuesday frowned on the recent increment of
the new students’ Acceptance Fee and Indigienship
Verification Fee.
Whereas the Acceptance Fee increased from N10,000 to
N20,000, the verification fee rose to N5,000 from N1,000.
Reacting to the increment on Tuesday, the SU President,
Adeyemi Onikoro, described the action as “shocking and
unwarranted.”
According to him, the authorities did not carry along the
student body in carrying out the exercise.
He added that the move was akin to “introducing tuition in
the institution through the backdoor.”
He said in a statement, “Our position is that this increment is
unwarranted and unnecessary at this point in time. It is our
strong belief that the university management never thought
of the consequences of this before rolling out information to
the effect of the increment.” http://punchng.com/lasu-acting-vc-shuns-office-over-juju-scare/
