GEJ Stopes UNILAG Convocation by saoseun(m): 5:28pm On Jan 17, 2013
The Convocation Ceremony of University of Lagos (Unilag) scheduled to take place on Thursday 17th and Friday 18th January 2013 has been cancelled through the order of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Investigation revealed that the cancellation was as a result of the refusal of the Alumni Association and Governing Council of the University to effect the name change announced by the Federal Government last year.


It will be recalled that the President in a nationwide broadcast last year renamed the institution to Moshood Abiola University Lagos (MAULAG) in honour of the acclaimed winner of the June 1993 Presidential election, Late MKO Abiola,a moved rejected by the School authorities.

The case is pending in court.Pressident Jonathan insisted that the new certificates to be issued by the University MUST bear the new name, an order the University authorities have refused to implement.

President Jonathan, it was learnt, told the Federal Ministry of Education that UNILAG was not known to him and as such will not honour the invitation that was sent to him through the ministry.
