The University of Lagos Student Union (ULSU) is spoiling for a showdown with management of the institution.

The university’s management through a circular issued by the Senate had shut down the school indefinitely and ordered students to vacate their hostels by 10am, April 8, 2016.

In a counter move however, ULSU Executive has asked students to stay put. They are to remain where there are, pending further information from the student body. A statement circulated among students reads:
“FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS STUDENTS UNION

It is unfortunate that despite priding itself as the university of first choice and the nation’s pride, the University of Lagos Management cannot manage this simple issue. The Vice Chancellor has demonstrated his insouciance towards the welfarism of the students. Despite his availability on campus today, he refused to avail the students of his presence.

In light of this public display of irresponsibility, the Union wishes to state that:

1) It is an inhumane move with a dastardly motive to demand the vacation of students from the University community. This is because it has got to the notice of the Union that certain hoodlums are around the school to waylay students who are trying to leave the school.
2) Also, students who leave in distant areas have confessed that they do not have transport fare to transport themselves home. This is understandable as the notice for vacation just got to students this morning at about 6:30, leaving us with less than 4hrs to vacate.
This is a display of lower drunkenness and gross irresponsibility on the part of the VC and the University Management as a whole. They have displayed that they do not have the interest kg the students at heart. They have shown that they are misfits with regard to parenthood.

Hence, we implore the students to stay in school so that they won’t be victims of circumstances. Hoodlums are everywhere and leaving the school now is dangerous.

The Union is on top of the situation. All students should remain indoors until further information from the Union.

SIGNED:
ULSU EXCOS”

Our correspondent reports that student leaders have perfected plans to deal with the fallout of this imminent showdown.

It remains to be seen however, what would happen next because the deadline issued by the institution’s management has elapsed and students are still in the various halls of residence.
