Institution denies students’ involvement


Movements in and out of the University of Lagos
(UNILAG), Akoka, were yesterday disrupted by
protesting students who were demanding for
immediate and unconditional reinstatement of the
11 executive members of the institution’s students
union. The protesters, who defied the heavy rain,
barricaded the university main gate hindering
students and visitors from entering the premises.
Other demands include a call to lift the “illegal ban
on the UNILAG Students Union” and “improvement
in welfare and conducive learning environment.” Besides, the students at the protest led by the
leadership of the Lagos State Chapter of the Joint
Campus Committee (JCC) of the National
Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and the
Alliance of Nigerian Students against Neoliberal
Attacks (ANSA), asked the management of the institution to retract the indemnity forms it
mandated students to sign and stop attacks on
activists and unionism.


Meanwhile, Deputy Registrar, Information Unit of
the institution, Toyin Adebule, in a telephone
conversation with The Guardian, denied that the
protesters are UNILAG students. According to him: “The protesters are activists and
rusticated students who lost their case in court.
Now that they have lost in court, they put up the
jankara protest. We have issued a press statement
to that effect informing the public that the
University of Lagos students are not protesting. The gathering outside the gate consists of
rusticated students and allies. They have
challenged the university in court and the case has
been struck out.”

The university management will not tolerate students protest, but will want government to tolerate there's . Am sure if some unilag lecturers where sacked because they embark on strike ASSU would have been shouting like babies that is been denied breast milk.

It was yesterday it happened, and we still had lecturers while the protest was on. Only thing was, students had to move with ID cards about.

I tell you!

I tell my pals that anytime the lecturers/managements want to embark on a protest, that is the best time for we student to do so also. Shey they said they want to be silly.

Yes university wouldn't condone student protest because most times it end up being violent but university staff like the academicians would be because they're not violent during their struggle for justice.

unilag management can cook story ooooo, I feel the protest was necessary yesterday but it should have been done earlier!!! Akokite are nothing but coward, you can't expect outsiders to come save your balls when you aren't ready to make sacrifice there hypocrite. They want lasu students to come and join protest for them..who dey EPP?? The truth is that There V.C is Failure that man needs to be ousted

Ousted Does dis look like a military situation to u? Please define failure.. They want Lasu students to help dem which confirms d statement "they are not unilag students".

As for ur claim the story was cooked up let's leave dat to this logical statement:

Something cannot be and not be at the same time!
