LASU ASUU Condemns Closure Of The Institution By The VC

The members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Lagos chapter have condemned the closure of the University following the orders of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. John Obafunwa.

Last Monday,  the management of the school asked students and staff to vacate the school premises with regards to the elections in the country.

According to statement released by the union ,the VC  has no right to shut down the institution.

Read the Statement released by the Union below:

   "The union would like to state
     unequivocally that the open- ended
     recess announced for the sake of
     elections is not only unwarranted and
     disruptive to the academic calendar, it
     is equally illegal and therefore invalid
     as the Vice-Chancellor under the guise
     of the university management, has no
     authority within the LASU Laws to
     declare such.

    The shutting down of activities in the
     university, when other institutions are
     undertaking academic activities, is an
     act of impunity that will adversely
     affect our students - that is the main
     purpose for which the university exist."
