UNILAG Crisis: FG receives special visitation panel report
The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, received the report on behalf of the Federal Government in Abuja on Thursday.
He said the recommendations of the panel will be thoroughly scrutinized with the aim of full implementation.
Shortly before presenting the report to the minister, the Chairman of the panel, Professor Tukur Sa’ad expressed optimism that the report of the panel will bring an end to the crisis that has festered in the university over the last one year.
This comes three weeks after the Federal Government inaugurated the panel to resolve the lingering crisis facing the institution.
While setting up the panel on August 26, Adamu warned members against interfering in the activities of the university management.
He encouraged the stakeholders in the university to fully cooperate with the panel and to allow it to work unhindered.
The panel was set up to investigate the crisis rocking the university, following the earlier removal of its Vice-Chancellor, Professor Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, by its Governing Council led by Mr Wale Babalakin, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
