The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, on Thursday, September 29, staged a protest which forced the management of University of Lagos. UNILAG, to order the closure of the school’s main entrance.
The protest which took place on Thursday was staged to fight the suspension of the school’s union leaders.


The students saw the protest as a way of showing camaraderie to their colleagues who were rusticated for protesting against the management’s inability to provide their basic amenities.
The union leaders had in April protested students’ poor living conditions (poor electricity, water scarcity and fuel scarcity — which made it burdensome for those who lived off campus to transport themselves to school).

The students, displeased with the decision taken concerning their leaders, stormed the school, insisting on a painstaking investigation of the suspension.

Members of the suspended University of Lagos Students Union, ULSU, executive had earlier in the month protested what they described as an “unjust rustication” of the union members.

The aggrieved students gathered at the school’s Senate building to demand thorough investigation of the suspensions of the students’ leaders, ranging from two to four semesters, for their role in a protest that led to the closure of the university in April.
