Information reaching TheNewsGuru.com, TNG has it that security has been beefed around the Senate building of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) as its Senate meets at the Ade Ajayi Main auditorium to discuss the sudden removal of Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe as Vice Chancellor by the Governing Council in Abuja on Wednesday.
TNG reports that the recent developments has caused unrest in the university community as the ousted VC insists nothing has changed.
However, the Registrar and Secretary to Council, Mr. Oladejo Azeez has since announced Prof Theophilus Soyombo of the Faculty of Science as Acting Vice Chancellor.
It was observed on Thursday that access to the Senate Building, the administrative hub of the University, housing the offices of the Vice Chancellor, other principal officers as well as the Senate Chamber, was restricted.
Visitors and members of staff without offices in the building were not allowed in.
The situation may have forced the Senate to move its meeting, which is ongoing, to the main auditorium.
Members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) are also scheduled to hold a Congress to debate Ogundipe’s removal.
Meanwhile, it was gathered that ASUU had earlier issued a strong warning to Soyombo not to resume as Acting VC of the university.
