The management of the University of Lagos has reportedly evicted student union leaders from their hostels.
On May 3, a notice was made public showing the eviction announcement.
While speaking to TheNation, Deputy Registrar (Information) Mr Toyin Adebule said, "there are special rooms allocated to Students Union representatives. But since the union has been suspended, they have to vacate those rooms.”
A first year student of Mass communication, while stating what returning students had to go through, said, "We have been submitting our indemnity forms and exam dockets. Though some people still haven’t signed but they have no choice because everything is tied to the form now including entry into hostel and entry into exam hall, so we just have to do as we are told.”
The students are alleging that the university is looking for evidence to expel the union leaders.
A source said: “Some students have been tasked with the job of spying and the university tried to get the faculty presidents to form a parallel body they called Council of Faculty Presidents to take over the duties of the students union. They were also asked to come up with another set of constitution which some of the presidents have refused to accept.”
