LASU Students Plead With Management, Fashola To Re-Open School

The students of Lagos State University, LASU has pleaded
with the school management and the Lagos State Governor to please re-open the
university so that they can continue with their academic activities. The management
of the institution had on March 25, 2015 shut down the school in a statement
titled ‘Election recess,’ where the students and workers were asked to vacate
the university premises. It however added that a resumption date will be
announced later on.

But the students are saying it’s now a month and four days
and they are suspecting the management are not willing to re-open the school
despite that the elections are very much over.

The Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State University
Students’ Union, Mr. Adebanjo Fatai, however lamented that the state government
and the varsity management have treated the reopening of the institution with
levity. Fatai said rather than reopening the institution for the commencement
of academic activities, the institution management went online to publish an
article, “Declared recess is still very much in force.”

He added, “The students’ Union of LASU respectfully assert
that the online bulletin released by LASU Management shows how irrational and
reckless the Management is towards the reopening of LASU.

“The love of LASUites is never in the heart of the
Management as we can deduce that the management and the state government are
not ready to reopen the school,” he said in a statement.
