UNILAG Students Embark On Prayer, Fasting Over Fellowship Ban by tbmas(m): 2:42pm On Jul 19, 2015 |
Due to the ban on activities of Christian fellowships outside the chapel of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), by the school authority, Christian fellowships on the campus have embarked on a seven-day prayer and fasting to seek spiritual redress. A memorandum sent to the students, dated 8th July 2015, conveyed the new directive which the students must respect. The memo partly reads: “The University of Lagos Management has approved the no ‘noise policy’ and directed that all social events such as parties, barbeque nights, public announcements, rallies and campaign are no longer allowed at all times within the vicinity of the faculties, libraries, laboratories, lecture theatres and other academic facilities.” The university authority, however, approved alternative centres for such events/activities, which include the student union building premises, Lagoon Front and the UBA Park. The memo also stated that the use of facilities such as faculties, libraries, laboratories and other academic facilities are prohibited for religious activities. Meanwhile, the approved places for religious activities are the chapel building, the University Mosque and the St. Thomas Moore Catholic Chapel. The UNILAG Joint Christian Fellowship may not have accepted the school’s decision to stop their activities outside the chapel as they have decided to take their mater to God. A broadcast sent among Christian students after reading the memo from the school authority reads: “Following the directive of school authority against all fellowship activities outside the chapel (UNILAG), UNILAG Joint Christian Fellowship would be embarking on seven days fasting and Prayer with meetings by 6pm everyday at the Chapel of Christ Our Light (UNILAG).” A student, presently at the College of Medicine, Idiaraba Campus, Ayobami Ayodele, who was once an executive at the fellowship affiliated to the Redeemed Christian Church of God, told Newswatch Times that no such thing is happening at the Idiaraba campus. “I’m not on the main campus but no such thing is happening here. I heard about the directives as well, I don’ think the move will be welcomed by the students. This will definitely threaten the religious freedom which has hitherto been enjoyed by students. On the other hand, I think this should stimulate the Christian community to practice Christianity more as a life than as a mere religion because Christianity isn’t about the preponderance of “religious activities,” Ayodele said. http://www.mynewswatchtimesng.com/unilag-students-embark-on-prayer-fasting-over-fellowship-ban/
