This is not new. We had to fill these forms back then after the school was shut down in 2004 under similar circumstances. We even paid 10k sef. After we resumed and student union was banned, we experienced a lot of ill treatment from the school in general mostly from the school security beating students at will. Truth is, one of the ways of checking the excesses of the authorities is by having a union and the students too should employ better ways of resolving issues with the authorities cos at the end of the day, they are always on the receiving end. Even after the school was closed for about three months coupled with several federal strikes, I still ended up spending exactly four years in that school.

Hello,

I'm a student of Unilag and we're required to sign the undertaking and indemnity forms.

I want to ask a question:
In the indemnity form, there is a space where a witness is supposed to sign (see attached image) and it says the witness "must be a status not lower than a level 12 officer in the Public Service"
Does this mean the witness must be a public officer?
Or is it that if the witness is a public officer then s/he must not be lower than level 12?

I'm asking because I do not know any public officers --much more a level 12 officer -- and I want to know if any other person can act as a witness.

Thanks in advance.
