The Senate further issued an ultimatum to all students to vacate the University’s premises by 11am and instructed the school security to arrest any student seeing in the premises after the deadline.
The decision of the school authority to shut down the university for
two weeks may not be unconnected to the protest by students over the
change of name of the institution to Moshood Abiola University, Lagos.
President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday announced that the Federal
Government have decided to rename the University of Lagos after the late
MKO Abiola, who died while struggling for the growth of democracy in
Nigeria.
The president said that the institution will now be known as Moshood Abiola University, Lagos.
On Wednesday, students of the University of Lagos disrupted the flow
of traffic in Lagos by blocking the third mainland bridge in
continuation of their protest over the renaming of their institution
after Abiola
