Lol. That kind of work no be true work my oga. The craziest part of this is that most of the people doing illegal things in LASU are ASUU unionists. That's why when some of them are caught, they begin to blackmail the University VC with lies. God help Naija.

Theft, sex scandal: LASU to hammer six lecturers
•ASUU kicks, writes governor, accuses management of oppression

•Mgt: We stand for rule of law

DISQUIET

There is disquiet at the Lagos State University (LASU) over a renewed face-off between the institution’s chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the management, over plans to deal with some alleged erring lecturers

There is disquiet at the Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, which is threatening the relative peace currently being enjoyed by the hitherto troubled state university.

The new development is not unconnected with the possible outcome of ongoing investigations into various allegations of sex scandal and theft of documents against six lecturers of the university, including three leaders of the institution’s chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

The concerned lecturers being tried for violating the university’s purported law against unauthorised possession and use of documents include the trio of Dr. Tony Dansu, Mr. Adeolu Oyekan and Dr. Kemi Abodunrin-Shonibare, who are the ASUU Secretary, Assistant Secretary and Treasurer respectively.

Three other lecturers accused by the students of sexually molesting them, are an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Dr. Isiaka Ogunwande; a Lecturer of Anatomy at the university’s College of Medicine, Ikeja, Dr. Gbeleyi Emmanuel, and another Associate Professor of Economics at the university’s main campus in Ojo, Dr. Sunkanmi Odubunmi.

Investigations by New Telegraph have revealed that when the Prof. Adebayo Ninalowo-led Governing Council of the university reconvenes in the first week of October, its verdict on these cases might not be good for the embattled lecturers.

Thus, ahead of the planned release of the report of the findings, ASUU has been mobilising support for its members, and particularly the three union leaders, accusing the university management of dictatorship and mission to violently exterminate the union on the campus.

It would be recalled that the university’s chapter of ASUU had petitioned the Governing Council, accusing the immediate past Registrar of the institution, Mr. Akinwunmi Lewis, of illegally backdating the professorial promotion of the incumbent Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun.

The petition, which was signed by the duo of Dansu and Oyekan, accused Mr. Lewis of misinterpreting the decision of the Council, which was taken on May 7, 2014 to promote the vice-chancellor by backdating the promotion to 2008.

The perceived ‘effrontery’ of the union to attach a document classified as ‘confidential’ and containing the purported Governing Council’s decision, irked the university management, which challenged the authors of the petition to produce the source of the documents.

The management accused the leadership of ASUU of unauthorised use of the document which was believed to have been illegally taken from Fagbohun’s file in the Office of the Dean of the Faculty of Law, Prof. Fabunmi Adeleke.

The attached document allegedly shows the stamp of the dean’s office, and it has been established that the original copy in the file is now missing.

But, the dean of the faculty who is also facing panel over the release of the document, has dissociated himself from the leakage, accusing the leadership of ASUU of engaging in illegality punishable under the law.

In a letter personally addressed to the leadership of ASUU on the matter, a copy of which New Telegraph obtained through a source, Adeleke accused the union of subjecting him to public ridicule and that the action has made people to doubt his integrity.

According to him, as member of the Governing Council, representing the union, he finds it extremely difficult to exonerate himself, but advised the union to return the document to his office. He said the faculty is the one accusing ASUU leadership of theft of document, which he noted is a criminal offence.

He told New Telegraph that until the document is returned, he would have nothing to do with the current leadership of the union on the campus, while insisting that he is a proud member of ASUU.

The letter reads in part; “Section 59 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State provides: Any person in the public service, who publishes or communicates fact which comes to his knowledge by virtue of his office, and which it is his duty to keep secret, or any document which comes to his possession by virtue of his office and it is his duty to keep secret, except to some person to who he is bound to publish or communicate it, is guilty of misdemeanor, and is liable to imprisonment for two years.”

On her part, the Treasurer of the union, Dr. Abodunrin-Shonibare, a Senior Lecturer, had written to challenge the alleged delay in her promotion, and attached a document said to be the decision of the Governing Council approving the promotion. She is also being accused of theft and being tried for unauthorised use of documents.

The three other lecturers, who are accused of sexual molestation, have reportedly appeared before the investigative panels set up by the university management.

New Telegraph, however, learnt the panel had subsequently turned in its reports on the different cases to the Joint Committee of the university’s Council and Senate, which had in turn submitted its recommendations to the Council.

One of the accused, Dr. Odubunmi was arrested by the institution’s security operatives while allegedly sexually harassing a female student of the Economics Department in his office on a Saturday.

The arrest took place exactly three days to the lecturer’s promotion interview for full professorship.

New Telegraph also learnt that Dr. Odubunmi had allegedly invited his victim to his office on the said Saturday to rewrite a failed examination paper, and had in the process, after locking the door, removed his shirt and started romancing the unnamed student.

Further investigations by New Telegraph revealed that it was unknown to the lecturer that the student had been bugged with secret cameras, and was being monitored by officers of the university in another office close to Odubunmi’s office.

According a source, who craved anonymity, the student, who was disturbed by the persistent pressure from the lecturer, had approached a Lagos-based Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) to seek intervention. The NGO was said to have notified the university management, which in turn promised to ‘play along’ so as to catch the lecturer red-handed.

The source further added: “Odubunmi invited the student to his office on the said Saturday to rewrite the course he said she failed. So, as soon as the girl entered, he was handed the answer booklet and the question papers.

“As soon as the girl was settling down to write, Odubunmi locked the door safely and began to UnCloth. He began by caressing the student but as soon as he was moving near ‘dangerous zones,’ the girl showed resistance and while attempting to adjust her glasses for proper coverage, the lecturer suspected and shouted loudly accusing the girl of attempting to rope him.

“He immediately seized the eyeglasses and broke it into pieces in the process.”

The allegation against Ogunwande is also similar, and according to sources within the university system, the lecturer has owned up, and may be sacked.

“The unfortunate thing is that Ogunwande is one of the shining stars of the university. A very brilliant lecturer and it is a mystery that he could fall into such trap,” the source told New Telegraph.

Meanwhile, the third lecturer, Gbeleyi, had allegedly injected his victims, sedating them in a laboratory before allegedly having sexual intercourse with them.

Two of her students, one of whom is a daughter of another worker in the university, had petitioned the management, narrating their experiences with the lecturer.

But, efforts of New Telegraph to speak with any of the three alleged randy lecturers proved abortive as their phones rang without response.

Only Ogunwande’s line did not go through, while text messages sent to Gbeleyi was not replied as at the time of filing this report.

However, four zones of ASUU, last Thursday, held a congress in LASU over the development, and called on the leadership of the university and the Governor of the state and Visitor to the university, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, to call the Prof. Fagbohun-led management to order.

The leadership of the zones, comprising Lagos, Akure, Ibadan and Benin, also on Friday converged on the state government Secretariat at Alausa, Lagos, where they staged a peaceful protest, demanding a visitation panel to the university, to unravel the real reasons behind the purported actions of the management against its members.

The group carried placards with various inscriptions such as; “ASUU is for peace and justice”; “Fagbohun respect LASU laws and regulations”; “Fagbohun, Ninalowo leave ASUU-LASU alone”; and “Fagbohun is a political professor.”

Speaking on behalf of his colleagues, the South-West Zonal Coordinator of ASUU, Prof. Sowande Olusiji, said it was unbelievable that accusers are now being threatened for exposing an act of illegality.

Sowande, who was the convener of the congress, said what LASU Governing Council was expected to do was to investigate the allegation and not the source of the information as a way to rope the whistle-blowers in order to suppress the activities of the union and operate with impunity.

He said: “But, ASUU can never be caged. We have the rights to associate and express opinions. So, castigating our members for being in possession of documents of any worker in our universities especially in this era of freedom of information law shouldn’t arise.”

The protesters called for a halt to the work of the Appointment, Promotion and Disciplinary Panel set up by the university authority to probe the three ASUU-LASU executive members.

However, the university management has appealed to the national leadership of ASUU to always investigate matters brought to it by its members before jumping into conclusion.

It accused the union of unjustly accusing the vice-chancellor, saying Fagbohun is not the same as the Governing Council that takes final decisions on such matters.

A source among the management members of the university, who craved anonymity, also said the petition to the Council against the vice-chancellor’s promotion was not just baseless, but a futile attempt for a reprisal attack on him by the union over the sack of its Chairman and Vice-Chairman, Dr. Isaac Oyewunmi and Dr. Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu.

The duo were part of 15 staffers of the university, who were relieved of their appointments exactly one year ago for allegedly committing various offences. Oyewunmi was dismissed for allegedly demanding N50,000 from students while Adeyemi-Suenu was sacked for allegedly unilaterally altering the results of 12 students already advised to withdraw from the university by Senate.

Also speaking, the Head of the university’s Centre for Information, Press and Public Relations, Mr. Ademola Adekoya, said the university’s laws penalises the unauthorised release of confidential documents.

He said the peaceful atmosphere on the campus has ensured stable academic calendar, and that the efforts of the new management to instill discipline and build a culture of sanity are only being resisted by some individuals.

He said the university will not be distracted by the antics of a few workers, saying they should allow law to take its course as regards the actions and inactions of members of the university community.

He said: “The documents are confidential; where did they get them? The illegality must be corrected first. Any attempt to check somebody’s file is misconduct. It is there in the condition of service that if you do this, there is a sanction for it.

“No one can accuse the vice-chancellor of impunity. He believes in the rule of law and his case is more compounded by his promotion as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN)-designate. He believes what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. The Vice-Chancellor believes any society where rule of law thrives, progress is assured.”

Yes o. 99.99999% of LASU Staff and Students are behind Professor 'Lanre Fagbohun ; we stand with the VC. LASU cannot be held behind because of individuals that are not even up to 5 in number all because of ASUU. Imagine defending Lecturers that are sexually molesting female students? Fake comrades that had to hire mercenaries and street hawkers to pretend as LASU staff and students.

Confirmed reports reaching BlackBox Nigeria has it that the leadership of Academic Staff Union of University, Lagos State University chapter involved mercenaries in its latest protest to the State Government House, Alausa.

According to a reliable source, the protest was planned and carried out by the Joint Action Front (JAF). It was learnt that the inability of the Group to bring Staff and Students on board with the protest led it to hire some street hawkers and an Education Support Group.

It was reported that the Group matched to the seat of power in Alausa, Ikeja on Friday to lodge complaints against the current Vice Chancellor of the State-controlled varsity.

BBN gathered that while the Group had only 6 bona-fide LASU Staff, the rest of the crowd, about 50 were drawn from the Streets on Friday, September 14th, 2018, when the protest was staged.

The source disclosed to BBN that JAF resorted to use hired mercenaries to carry out the protest when majority of Staff (both Academic and Non-Academic) and Students flagged down a protest within the school premises. This was also confirmed in a press statement released by the Students Union Government (SUG) on Thursday, a day before the protest at Alausa.

A Senior Lecturer who prefers anonymity also disclosed that the protest at Alausa was a total sham as it didn’t have the backing of the lecturers as he handpicked confirmed staff who were at the protest.

In his words, “See, there was no sensible protest anywhere. It’s all a show of shame. Those claiming LASU lecturers protested in Alausa are not right. Among all those protesters, only 3 of them are LASU Lecturers. The General Secretary of ASUU – LASU, The Assistant General Secretary and one other man. The remaining people you see there are not LASU staff. They were rented“.

An inquiry by BBN into what birthed the protest by the Group revealed it was not unconnected to the dismissal of ASUU-LASU Chairman and Vice Chairman. It was learnt that the Group had launched a fight against the Vice Chancellor, Professor Olanrewaju Adigun Fagbohun SAN after the dismissal of the erstwhile stalwarts.

However, it seems the Group is fighting back after several revelations have uncovered the dealings of the dismissed academicians as a LASU Graduate and MSc student recently shed more light on the allegation against Dr Suenu (dismissed ASUU-LASU Vice Chairman)

The concerned student said, “I can confirm to you that the allegations are indeed true. I took MSc classes in the Department of History, where Dr. Suenu was the Acting Head. He truly collected money to alter results. He even did more worse than he has been accused of – any student in that department can confirm to you. ASUU – LASU Exco is just trying to be political about everything. They are trying to blackmail the LASU VC and unfairly paint him as a bad leader but they’ve failed. I can tell you that more than 98% of LASU Staff and Students are behind Professor Fagbohun in this. That’s why they(ASUU-LASU Exco) need to move outside to rent protesters. Nobody in LASU supports them“.

*THE TRUTH BEHIND ASUU - LASU Exco AND LASU MANAGEMENT FACE OFF.*

*"When light unexpectedly shines on murkiness, those exposed by the stinging rays often berate the light rather than regret the murk".*


For years, I've watched LASU rise from one crisis to the other. I remember when I gained admission to study in LASU and many of my friends back home told me "I was not going to a real university". I cried and almost regretted coming to LASU.

As it stands today, I have a Bachelors degree from LASU and I'm about completing my second Masters degree programme at this same Lagos State University. On this note, I dare say that I've experienced LASU rise and struggle over the past 9years.

In the past three years, my pride of being a LASUITE began to reach new heights. Sadly, the evil geniuses are at work and they are on a mission to take over the LASU we now prefer and love. What really is wrong between ASUU - LASU Exco and LASU Management(led by Professor Lanre Fagbohun) is perhaps the most important question in LASU now. What really is wrong?

Firstly, Professor Fagbohun has done absolutely nothing wrong as some in ASUU are forcing the public to believe. Professor Fagbohun became an enemy of ASUU - LASU Exco after he insisted that some Lecturers must face a disciplinary panel over their misconducts that range from extortion of money from students, illegal alteration of results, harassments and so on. Two of these guilty Lecturers - Dr. Oyewunmi of the faculty of education(in the past) and Dr. Adebowale Suenu; a former acting head of department of History and International Studies were executive members of ASUU.

Dr. Oyewunmi held back the destiny of a student for over five years. The student's only offence was his failure to bribe Dr Oyewunmi with #50,000 for the processing of his results.  For Dr. Suenu, whom prior to his dismissal was the acting Head of Department of History and International Studies. Dr Suenu was dismissed for unilaterally altering the results of over 12 students who normally have no business in the university.  A colleague of  mine who is a recent graduate of that particular department substantiated the allegations against Dr Suenu. He(Suenu) is said to have been illegally upgrading the results of withdrawn and extra year students even a year before he was finally caught in the act. There are cases whereby students who had been withdrawn due to as many as 18 outstanding courses; suddenly became students overnight after they paid Dr. Suenu to upgrade some of their results for them through his LASU LIDC portal.

What ASUU - LASU Exco is also not telling the world is that : Dr Suenu was not the only one that was dismissed for this particular offense(illegal alteration/upgrade of results). Dr Ademeso who was once the H.O.D of Theatre Arts and Music was dismissed for a similar offense. In fact, other Lecturers at the Faculty of Education(Dr Olugbenro Odofin) and Faculty of Management Sciences(Dr Scholarstica Udegbe) were also dismissed for the same offense. Interestingly, it was the Immediate Past Chairman of ASUU - LASU ( Dr Adekunle Idris)while acting as a whistleblower who reported the case of alterations in his Faculty(FMS) to the university vice chancellor through a text message. The university vice chancellor ordered a forensic audit on the online portal being used by all Heads of Departments for uploading/upgrading of results   - in the course of which different culpable names came up including Dr. Suenu.   Hence, the fact that ASUU - LASU Exco are busy crying on the pages of newspapers and through their surrogates that  their Vice Chairman was dismissed for being a Unionist is a billion miles away from the truth. A mere investigative visit to the Department of History and International Studies in LASU will bring on board facts from staff and students of the department who will tell you how notorious Dr. Suenu was in the act of alteration for cash. 


*ASUU-LASU EXCO'S DEVILISH ANTICS.*

Over the past one year, a few individuals in ASUU - LASU Exco have been working tooth and nail to bring down the LASU Vice Chancellor - Professor Fagbohun due to the rightful dismissal of their colleague and the strong stance of the VC on the rule of law. Interestingly, Professor Fagbohun could not have singlehandedly sacked a lecturer in the first place. The VC does not have the power to do so. It is the University's Governing Council made up of diverse individuals including members of ASUU - LASU that can dismiss a Lecturer. Nevertheless, ASUU - LASU Exco sees Professor Fagbohun as a soft target. They believe they can easily intimidate Prof. Fagbohun since they cannot face the leadership of the Governing Council. To intimidate Prof. Fagbohun, ASUU - LASU Exco has been inundating the media with lies and falsehood that are aimed to mislead unsuspecting individuals. Elements in ASUU - LASU have also hired the services of certain surrogate groups like the Education Rights Campaign(ERC), and Joint Action Front(JAF) to promote the ulterior motives of the few remnant ASUU - LASU Exco.


In reality, a vast majority of LASU Staff and the LASU Community at large are against the few ASUU - LASU Exco that are so desirous of a crisis in LASU. The individuals behind ASUU - LASU Exco are so small in numbers that they can be counted with the fingers. This explains why they've been making overtures to groups outside of LASU to front for them. Why? The average LASU Lecturer knows the sacked academic staff are guilty of the allegations and thus will not support the few misled colleagues in ASUU. In fact, other staff unions in LASU are not in support of the evil antics of ASUU in LASU as well. ASUU - LASU Exco is in a lonely war that it created.


Very recently, all in a bid to attack the personality of LASU VC, the remnant ASUU - LASU Exco stole documents from a Dean's office without the consent of the occupant. This is the reason why Dr. Tony Dansu and Dr. Oyekan have been invited to a disciplinary panel to explain how they got the document from an office the occupant declared that the said documents were indeed stolen from him by the ASUU - LASU Exco.

ASUU - LASU Exco will never tell the world the truth. To them, they are always right even when they've committed atrocities. I even gathered they are presently planning to defend a Lecturer in the Department of Economics, Faculty of Social Sciences who was caught sexually harassing a female LASU student. Why are some of these Lecturers bent on destroying the lives of innocent students?

For LASU not to return to old dark days where nothing worked, LASU students at all levels, staff, Alumni members and the general public must come together to defend the Lagos State University. If we don't rise up now and defend our pride, then we will have no pride to defend later.

Today we see new structures coming up almost everywhere in LASU and new programmes being brought to the table. If we allow these few mischievous elements to have their way, we will be left with a university where dust attends classes instead of students and where staff won't be able to progress in their career as a result of senseless closures.

LASU WILL REMAIN PEACEFUL AND GREAT!

*Ibrahim Alao, a proud LASUITE and a Lagosian, writes from Lagos, Nigeria.*

Tomibyte:
if something is bad,lets all say its bad..nigerians go dey condemn n na still dem go cover am up

Bro. The only offense of this LASU VC is because two Lecturers were sacked for fraud. Now, three Lecturers are about to be sacked for sexually harassing female students (https://theeagleonline.com.ng/three-lasu-lecturers-sack-imminent-over-alleged-sexual-harrasment/) and they are now all out lying against the VC. The students won't take it. We will resist it.

Imagine, those who went to Alausa yesterday are not LASU staff or students. If they try to do one stupid protest on campus, staff and students will beat them out of school. Corrupt set of people.

Don't be deceived by ASUU. Those who 'protested' yesterday are not LASU Staff at all. They are mercenaries. This is a student of OAU below, Omole Ibukun who is not a LASU student.

Paid protesters. The only LASU staff there are the General Secretary and the AGS of ASUU-LASU. The remaining protesters are paid mercenaries.

Law Faculty Condemns Alleged Document Theft By ASUU-LASU Leaders
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Dr Tony Dansu, to Secretary, ASUU-LASU, and Dr Adeolu Oyekan, the Assistant Secretary, were alleged of unauthorised removal, dissemination and publication of official document.

The Faculty of Law, Lagos State University, on Friday condemned an alleged theft and circulation of a confidential document in its custody by executive members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Dr Tony Dansu, to Secretary, ASUU-LASU, and Dr Adeolu Oyekan, the Assistant Secretary, were alleged of unauthorised removal, dissemination and publication of official document.
They were also accused making false assertions capable of putting the university and its official to disrepute and facing an ongoing panel whose recommendation will be submitted to council for ratification next month.
The document was for the promotion of the university’s current Vice-Chancellor, Dr Olanrewaju Fagbun to a Professor in a bid to contend that his professorship was backdated by the former Registrar, Mr Akinwunmi Lewis, from 2014 to 2007/2008.
The document which had been declared missing by the faculty was traced to ASUU because it bears its stamp.
Prof. F.A.R. Adeleke, the university’s Dean, Law Faculty, when contacted refused to make any verbal comment because he and five of his staff were also facing the panel on the missing document and it would be prejudice to the panel to speak.
Adeleke, however, referred NAN to a seven page position letter he wrote to ASUU immediately the missing document was in circulation and the issue escalated before the panel began sitting, to dissociate himself and faculty from the missing document.
Adeleke’s letter obtained by NAN condemned the act by ASUU -LASU and noted that removing documents from his office without legitimate access to same was not only unethical but was an act of irresponsibility and criminal.
The letter said that the union’s act had created an unconducive and suspicious atmosphere for the Dean by making colleagues in the faculty to view his tenure with suspicion and eroded confidence.
It said this was suggestive of Adeleke’s administrative incompetence to safeguard interests of his colleagues and protect their privacy, possibly either due to negligence or deliberate leaking of information in their personal file.
It said: “I should be credited with a sufficient quantum of intelligence as to how such a document evidencing a justified backdated promotion have been released to ASUU by me to prove a futile point.
“When I personally was a beneficiary of a backdated promotion in the same faculty, additionally, two or three members of the same faculty got their promotions backdated to the time we filled the APER form.
“It is on record that Akinwunmi Lewis was not the Registrar during the time of all these backdated promotion and, in fact, my own promotion was not only similarly backdated but accompanied with monetary arrears.
“Justice is not treating persons equally but treating persons of similar situations similarly and this is what the university did in the case of those of us in the Law Faculty that were unjustly denied promotion for years.’’
The dean’s letter also quoted the criminal law of 2015, Section 60, which provides that “any person who, being employed in the public service, without proper authority removes, or makes a copy of any document in the property of his employer is guilty of a misdemeanour and is liable to imprisonment for one year’’.
Reacting, Dansu said the union’s secretary and his assistant had a mandate to act as directed by the union and write letters on behalf of its congress and ASUU.
Dansu said: “Since the time of the Oyewunmi-led executive which started in 2016, we have written over 340 letters and 90 per cent of such letters we write have attachments of documents and nobody has ever asked us where have we got the document from?
“It is strange to be asking the union where they got document they are using, instead of asking if the information in the document was correct.”
The secretary said that the union officials were subjected to a panel because the document in question affected the number one person in the university.
He referred to the tenure of the past Vice-Chancellor. Prof. John Obafunwa, which was synonymous with a “No Vacancy, No Promotion’’ policy, the union got documents from faculties to fight for its members and was not questioned.
He said: “We did not get the document from the Faculty of Law.
“This document is a public document, a promotion letter that anyone could have access to during the process of issuance by the Appointment and Promotion Committee and its travel to the faculty of the beneficiary.”
Dansu said the assertions made by him and the deputy secretary after the dismissal of its erstwhile chairman and the deputy, which had now become an issue of contention, was sequel to a position by the union’s congress that the two union leaders were wrongfully dismissed.
NAN had reported that the union’s erstwhile chairman, Dr Isaac Oyewunmi, was dismissed by the university’s Governing Council in September 2017, for demanding for a bribe of N50,000 from a final year student.
While the deputy, Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu, was sacked for unilaterally altering the results of 12 students already advised to withdraw by Senate to upgrade the students result.
Following their dismissal, Dansu and Oyekan, who stepped in as leaders of the union had told newsmen that the processes leading to the dismissal of the chairman and the deputy was faulty.
They claimed the dismissal of their leaders was an attempt by the management to undermine the union and silence dissenting views on the campus.
According to the source, the two union leaders while facing an ongoing panel were charged for making false assertions without justifiable facts that contravenes reasons for the sack of their chairman and the deputy.
NAN also reports that another ASUU official, Dr Oluwakemi Aboderin-Sonibare, the Treasurer of the union, was also facing the panel for retrieving and attaching an assessor’s report to a memorandum she submitted to the vice-chancellor.
The memorandum sent to the vice-chancellor by Aboderin-Sonibare to appeal for consideration of the decision of the Appointment and Promotion Committee and the Disciplinary Committee on her 2014/2015 promotion, also included a report of the Appointment and Promotion Committee.
Dansu, however, explained that Aboderin-Sonibare was one of the university’s official who was denied promotion under Prof. Obafunwa’s leadership and had been promoted by the current leadership of the university in 2017 with a backdate to 2014/2015.
He said her letter to the current vice-chancellor was to demand that her promotion be backdated to 2013 so that she won’t lose her seniority and a copy of the assessment report by her assessor attached by her was obtained from the union’s secretariat.
He said: “The document she attached was part of the compendium of those we fought for their promotion during the past administration.”
Meanwhile a copy of the university’s condition of service of 2017, also obtained by NAN prescribes in chapter three that misconducts such as false claims against the university and its officials were punishable.
Also, extraction of minutes of meetings without the permission of the Head of Department if investigated and proven could lead to termination or compulsory retirement.
Akinwunmi Lewis, the immediate past Registrar of the university told NAN that the “rules of engagement in the university states that official documents are sacrosanct and are not to fly around or about’’.
Lewis said such documents were not to be found in possession of those who are not schedule officers to hold the records.
He said those who were custodians of the records were also bound by law to use the document for official purposes only and return it for safe keeping.
He said: “It is a global practice that under no circumstance must an employee who is not responsible for documents to take such with a view of taking advantage of the system or for peculiar benefit.
“If such happens such employee would be put through a panel and if found culpable, will be sanctioned.”
Lewis noted that there was no immunity covering union officials in regards to the default of the rules of engagement, as a union member was first an employee before becoming a unionist.
He said: “The rules of engagement binds on all and if there is an infraction emanating from any group or union, council cannot punish all the members for that but it will rather mete out its punishment on the officer found culpable.’’

alujonjonkijon:
lanre fagbohun certinly is a man of history and should not expect the established corrupt academic staff union not to find an excuse to demonise him.God will surely be on his side all the way.this time they got the wrong guy.why his professorship has to be backdated is what he should now tell us.

They are lying against the LASU VC. His only offence was sacking some bag eggs among them.

projectorz:
I'm surprised about this though. I like the VC, cos he brought many changes to the school. All seized results were released. I mean results of over a decade o.

Lets hope issues will soon be resolved.

They are lying against the LASU VC. His only offence was sacking some bag eggs among them.

opribo:
I just knew it from the start that there was something not adding up about this woman minister which she has proved with her lack lustre approach to managing our finance ministry. You just can't give what you don't have.
All she does is to come and mimic some phonetics as though she was britico and then reel out how the past government wasted funds and now she has weeded out ghost workers bla bla bla. No solid fiscal policy just sheer mediocrity raised to power 10.

BTW, if NYSC is forged ultimately it means her educational credentials must be probed. Someone once said beware of those who try too hard to impress you.

She was born, breed and brought up in the U.K . She spent the first 30 years plus of her life in the U.K - she had all education in the U.K too. She's a British citizen.

Edubbs:
Africans and Nigerians in particular always see bad officiating whenever they lose.

*The first bad officiating i saw was not giving our defender a red card for clipping the feet of de maria from behind when he was through on goal.

*The second one was the penalty given to Nigeria. A tussle in the box from a corner kick. 8 out of 10 referees would have ignored that incident. And then we say the referee was biased against us. lol.

Typical Nigerian mentality. Always finding someone or something to blame.

The Nigerian goal was rightly a penalty. Was that not the same penalty they awarded to Croatia in our first match? Check Fifa rules.

RexTramadol1:
Nobody can stop Messi in that situation




Except of course you want to concede a penalty.

It's surprising people are blaming Omeruo in that kind of situation. He even almost blocked the shot - which was the best he could have done in that scenario. Even Sergio Ramos hardly stops Messi in even less difficult situations.

Lucasbalo:
That's the first thing that came to me too. I know guys in chicagoland that gets their blue passport in 7 years after coming here on visiting a visa. Imagine 30 years without citizenship in a liberal country ?. Something is wrong somewhere. Maybe what they say about the village people following some people around is really true. I bet you he's kicking himself right now wherever he is.

How did he transited from a F1 Visa so quickly? Green Card and then Blue Passport?

SEXUAL HARASSMENTS AND THE CABALS IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES.

Again, Nigerians were rocked with the news of another sex scandal in a Nigerian university. A professor of English Studies in the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Olusegun Awonusi has been accused of sexual harassment by an unnamed student of the institution. The fresh allegation came a day after the Senate of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) commenced probe into a similar allegation against a professor of Management and Accounting in the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Richard Akindele, who was accused of molestation by a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) student, Monica Osagie.


Every current student and recent graduate of Nigerian universities will not be surprised by this ugly trend. For some years now, a lot of Nigerian male university teachers have made it a norm to demand for sex from their female students mostly in return for grades. These students desire knowledge and mentorship from their teachers but they get sexual harassment in return. Unfortunately for many of these victims of sexual abuse in our universities, they end up being traumatized as it's either there are no machineries put in place for them to channel their concerns or the 'cabals' in our universities silence their cry.


Who then are these cabals? They are the current major problem in Nigerian university system. They are the morally bankrupt individuals masquerading themselves as ASUU unionists. Myself and a number of my loved ones had our degrees at the Lagos State University(LASU) Ojo and during our stay we saw clearly : the challenges that face the Nigerian university system.
This problem of sexual harassment in our universities should have been long solved in Nigeria if the cabals under the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) had not opposed the Sexual harassment Bill that was poised to be passed by the Nigerian Senate. President of the union, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, at  a Public Hearing on the Sexual Harassment Bill, organised by the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters vehemently rejected the bill and cried out that it is "targeted at university lecturers". Should a Lecturer without skeleton in his cupboard be scared of discipline? Not when ASUU stalwarts are the ones mostly involved in the sexual harassment of our female students across our universities.


At the Lagos State University, LASU, where ASUU is busy using lies(thus making a mockery of themselves) to defend its two leaders that were rightfully dismissed for alterations and extortion of money from students, one of those fronting this show of shame - Mr Oyekan Adeolu, the Assistant General Secretary of ASUU-LASU is a notorious abuser known for sexually molesting female students in his office. Mr Oyekan who is equally a Lecturer in the Faculty of Arts, Lagos State University is one of those teachers that passionately demand sex for grades. Furthermore, I recall during my final days as a postgraduate student in LASU when one Dr Ayodele Oluwole of the Department of Sociology, Faculty of Social Sciences was on the verge of raping a female student in a hotel room before the whole plot failed. Even Dr Oseni Afisi of Department of Philosophy is known to dish out grades at the rate of five thousand naira (#5,000) per course for the male students while demanding for marathon sex from the female students. Dr Dele Seteolu of Department of Political Science equally spends more time running after female students with a view to get them to bed as opposed to his main occupation which is to teach students and mould them into responsible leaders. Now, very interestingly, all these aforementioned Lecturers are the ones fronting for ASUU in LASU. They are the ones cooking up lies and inundating the media with falsehood all in a bid to shield their evil dealings , and blackmail the university authority against prosecuting them for their misdeeds. I saw all these during my stay in LASU and I wonder why members of ASUU-LASU excos and their die hard supporters are those with skeleton in their cupboards? Why are these teachers bent on plunging our university system to a point of no return? The national leadership of ASUU should not continue to support these criminal elements simply because of the money (check-off dues) that they are benefiting from them.
Consequently, for as long as ASUU has these bad eggs within their circle, we should not expect them to support excellence. Terrible things are happening in Nigerian Universities, and such criminals hide under the protective canopy of ASUU. In fact, investigative journalists should work with students across universities in Nigeria to expose the shady dealings of serial abusers like Mr Oyekan Adeolu who is the Assistant General Secretary of ASUU in LASU and the likes of Akindeles (OAU), Oyewusis (UNILAG) that are dotted across our campuses in Nigeria. 




The University of Ilorin achieved great landmarks during the reign of Professor Ishaq Oloyede as the university vice chancellor. The university improved its infrastructures, attracted local as well as foreign investors, flushed out so many bad eggs from its ranks and ushered in years of unbroken academic calendar that stimulated all round development. Very worrisomely, ASUU has a track record of plotting to frustrate visionary and disciplined university vice chancellors.
This explains why astute and visionary university administrators like Professor Oloyede are regarded as a pain in neck of ASUU and their stalwarts. Oloyede represent clear vision and discipline - which ASUU abhors.


Moving forward, university managements must ensure mechanisms that will encourage whistleblowing are put in place to curb this ugly trend. More so,the Nigerian Senate must be firm and ensure the passage of a bill that will protect our students from morally bankrupt Lecturers across our universities. Nigerians must equally demand accountable and responsible unionism from ASUU. The glorious days of Professor Abubakar Momoh and Professor Attahiru Jega in ASUU - when integrity, ideology, discipline and accountability were the watchword of staff unionism must be restored in the Union.

God bless Nigeria.

Good morning

LASU's GROWING PACE : A THRILLING PHENOMENON

The Lagos State University had its 22nd Convocation Ceremony with the major events holding between the 21st and 24th of May, 2018. I temporarily relocated to Lagos and attended all events as my younger sister bagged her Bachelor of Science. In the course of these four days, so many prominent Nigerians including : Former President Olusegun Obasanjo,GCFR, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, Professor Abubakar Rasheed of National Universities Commission(NUC), the Chancellor to the University and High Commissioner to the UK - Justice Oguntade, business moguls, prominent traditional rulers numbering over 20, and Vice Chancellors (or their representatives ) from more than 27 institutions to
mention but a few were all guests of the university. It was a roll call of who is who.


It was obvious, the university has been investing massively in infrastructural development and upgrade of many of its facilities. This explains why Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Governor Ambode had to pay a visit to the university's fisheries and aquaculture facility which is now adjudged to be one of the best in Africa. From hatching its fingerlings, I am informed that the unit is not only able to sell table size fish in commercial quantities, it also has such by- products as bathing soap and body cream all made from fish oil there in the University. The University I am further informed is also into genetic engineering of fish production. The myriad of visitors to the university were all visibly impressed and gave kudos to the university leadership for bringing this new dynamism of innovation and high level scholarship to LASU.

In all of these, what stands out the most in LASU today is not its new Senate building. Rather, it's the unity, bond, and drive among its workforce, students, the entire university community including the Alumni association . In unison they all showed that LASU is now poised to make its mark as a great citadel of learning. You need to see the energy and determination on the faces of staff and students when they sing the university anthem. It is amazing. I truly felt very proud as an alumnus . Interestingly, with the way and manner a few members of ASUU-LASU Exco have been running around media houses in recent weeks, one would have thought that indeed another crisis was brewing. This just concluded Convocation clearly showed that these few disgruntled elements are only out to inundate members of the public with lies/falsehood against the hardworking university Vice chancellor -Prof. Fagbohun, and members of his management. LASU without doubt made a resounding positive statement with this Convocation. Every opportunity I have had to watch the VC reflects him as a passionate leader who immensely love his people (staff and students). This Convocation was a clear demonstration that his people equally love him in return.

With regards to the remnant members of ASUU - LASU Excos, the once popular 'comrades' lost relevance in the university and beyond when they decided to defend their glaringly corrupt and crooked erstwhile Chairman and Vice Chairman. Instead of ASUU - LASU Excos to sanitize its ranks, it decided to go political by erroneously crying victimization and lying to the world that LASU is in crisis. As if peddling of falsehood on newspaper pages was not enough, this very few(I am told that these rabble-rousers can be counted on the fingers) ASUU-LASU Excos led by Drs Dansu and Oyekan(who has a reputation for sexually harassing female students in his office) alongside their friends such as Dr Wole of the Department of Sociology (who attempted to rape a female student in a hotel room a couple of years ago) will sit outside of their congress to draw list of spurious allegations against the university Vice Chancellor all in a bid to arm twist him. In their delusion, they felt blackmailing the Vice Chancellor through the proliferation of fallacies on the pages of newspapers will make him kow-tow and thus halt the machinery of justice from taking its course in the cases of their 'comrades'. I was also opportune to get a copy of the just released 2017 Annual Report of the University and reading through, it was quite captivating (recall this same VC and his team released that of 2016 early in 2017) - this is what I call accountability.


ASUU(at its local, zonal and national level) lost public respect and sympathy when it chose to pitch its tents with lies and darkness. One of my former Lecturers told me that these disgruntled ASUU LASU Exco boys have continued to make a mockery of themselves by making frantic attempts to instigate the public and the university community(through a group called Education Rights Campaign) against the university authority. Having dawned on them that they lack acceptability and popularity among members of LASU Community, this very microscopic gang of ASUU - LASU Exco have continued to waste union dues fighting a war that does not exist and in raising a devilish army that will amplify their evil agenda and make their dream of creating a crisis in LASU - a reality. This has however failed and will forever fail.

A past executive member of ASUU who was my teacher in the faculty also told me that this very crop of ASUU - LASU Excos have failed to allow the auditing of the account of the union for a long time while holding on desperately to power under the guise that there is a crisis. Some members according to him are contemplating going to court for the several millions of naira unaccounted for. Why will a body like ASUU be in this mess ? Why can't they promote the truth and be accountable?


The 22nd LASU Convocation Ceremony was a great eye opener. It brought to the fore, the very essence of universities in a country. The Convocation Lecture which was very well delivered by Professor Abubakar Rasheed, Executive Secretary of NUC and chaired by Former President Olusegun Obasanjo spotlighted challenges of nation building in Nigeria as well as the possible panacea.

Members of the LASU community worked so hard for their university. It was all praises for them, the Governing Council and the Management. However, it is not yet uhuru. LASU can still do a lot more. As is to be expected, we graduates of LASU will always want our university to continuously improve. For LASU to sustain its drive and consolidate on its previous gains, staff and students of LASU must remain united and consistently work hard for the growth of their university. The old sad days of crisis must also be buried for good - this is the more reason why the university community and even members of the LASU Alumni must stand firm against the machinations of mischievous individuals like the remnant members of ASUU - LASU Exco who are so desirous of crisis in LASU. After publishing one of my recent articles on LASU(titled "When Will ASUU say The Truth in LASU", I received so many calls from former colleagues in LASU who all applauded the bravery of the article and even urged me to expose the evil men further . My response is that it is not only my responsibility to promote the true narratives of events, we all must constantly be involved. We must not keep silent in the face of evil that the current ASUU LASU Exco represent. Thank God the other Unions have remained credible and not allowed themselves to be hood winked to do evil. Other members of LASU community (including the Alumni) must come out to tell the world what truly is happening in LASU. The university is making unprecedented successes and a very few disgruntled individuals who have skeletons in their cupboards must not be allowed to stand in front of this development.

LASU AND OAU : WHY NIGERIANS MUST SAVE ITS UNIVERSITY SYSTEM FROM ASUU

"The truth is always self evident. It requires no one to fight on its behalf. When the truth goes to war in any situation, it ultimately defeats & destroys all elements of falsehood and concoctions that stand on its way".


Just some days ago, I wrote about the failure of the Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities (ASUU) to say the truth about happenings at the Lagos State University (LASU). ASUU has failed to present the true facts about happenings in LASU to the world but rather, it has chosen to proliferate lies and blackmail against the LASU Management led by Professor Olanrewaju Fagbohun, the university vice chancellor all in a bid to whip up sentiments and misinform unsuspecting members of the public.
The article : "WHEN WILL ASUU SAY THE TRUTH IN LASU" had barely rested when a professor and stalwart of ASUU at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) "Professor Richard Akindele" was caught in a sex for grade scandal.
This OAU professor had demanded for marathon sex from a final year female student over a pass grade in a particular course he teaches. Whoever went through the Nigerian university system may not be too enraged about this. However, what is interesting about this whole happening is how the body that should fight against this cankerworm has instead chosen to promote it as its leaders are usually fingered in such insane escapade. The Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities (ASUU) over the years has done nothing towards holding its members to high moral standards. How will they even do that when these Union leaders and "comrades" are actively engaged in such illegality?

At the Lagos State University, LASU, where ASUU is busy using lies(thus making a mockery of themselves) to defend its two leaders that were rightfully dismissed for alterations and extortion of money from students, one of those fronting this show of shame - Mr Oyekan Adeolu, the Assistant General Secretary of ASUU-LASU is a notorious abuser known for sexually molesting female students in his office. Mr Oyekan who is equally a Lecturer in the Faculty of Arts, Lagos State University is one of those teachers that passionately demand sex for grades. Furthermore, I recall during my final days as a postgraduate student in LASU when one Dr Ayodele Oluwole of the Department of Sociology, Faculty of Social Sciences was on the verge of raping a female student in a hotel room before things went south. Even Dr Oseni Afisi of Department of Philosophy is known to dish out grades at the rate of five thousand naira (#5,000) per course for the male students while demanding for marathon sex from the female students. Dr Dele Seteolu of Department of Political Science equally spends more time running after female students with a view to get them to bed as opposed to his main occupation which is to teach students and mould them into responsible leaders. Now, very interestingly, all these aforementioned Lecturers are the ones fronting for ASUU in LASU. They are the ones cooking lies against the university vice chancellor and inundating the media with falsehood all in a bid to shield their evil dealings and blackmail the university authority against prosecuting them for their misdeeds. I saw all these during my stay in LASU and I wondered why all members of ASUU-LASU excos and their die hard supporters are those with skeleton in their cupboards? Why is their national leadership shielding and funding them too? Why are these teachers bent on plunging our university system to a point of no return?
Consequently, if ASUU has such bad eggs within their circle, how then do we expect them to act in favour of justice? Terrible things are happening in Nigeria Universities, and such criminals hide under the protective canopy of ASUU. In fact, investigative journalists should work with students across universities in Nigeria to expose the shady dealings of serial abusers like Mr Oyekan Adeolu who is the Assistant General Secretary of ASUU in LASU and the likes of Professor Akindeles that are dotted across our campuses in Nigeria.

More importantly, university managements must encourage whistleblowing and they must also be willing to bring perpetrators to book without any fear of intimidation. Professor Eyitope Ogunbodede, the Vice Chancellor of OAU must hence rise up to the occasion with a view to ensure justice is done in favor of the emotionally battered female student while also saving the image of the university. Professor Ogunbodede must also put in place measures that will prevent a future reoccurrence. At the Lagos State University,LASU for instance, the university vice chancellor - Prof. Fagbohun whom students can easily send text messages encourage whistle blowing and this has greatly helped to expose and flush out some criminals in academic gowns from LASU.

Nigerians must also be ready to hold ASUU and its leaders to high moral standards and accountability in Nigeria. In another light, how come ASUU knows how to perfectly ask for money (union dues) but cannot simply put in place mechanisms to bring the corrupt ones among its rank to book? While the Holy Bible posited in Mathew 26:41 that "the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak". For ASUU, the spirit and flesh are not only weak but they've equally been programmed to do evil and protect them. That is the era we are now. The era of "comrades" using unionism to veil their evil operations.


For the development of our educational sector and Nigeria as a nation, we as a people must rise up and wrestle our university system from certain individuals bent on destroying the lives of our female students as well as the future of their male colleagues.

God bless Nigeria!!!

isobayor:
In LASU, everything is possible once you have money or VJ or both.

I can boldly say that as I had both my first and second degree from the school

That is the old LASU bro.All those bad eggs have been largely removed. That is why some of them are fighting back now by telling lies against this VC that is dealing with them and their corrupt tendency. The former H.O.D of History was dismissed for altering results and collecting money from students to do it.

eightsin:
interesting read but you also failed to provide proof of anything you have said above other than hear-say. you could have even done more by providing name of national newspaper and the date of advert. i am not saying the lecturers are not guilty or not but merely pointing out that you provided no proof to back you up.

I'm a Postgraduate student in LASU although not the author of the article . I saw the advert on the university bulletin and on a newspaper. I will modify and upload evidences once I settle down.

darocha1:
Both accuse and defendant are only making noise. The case is in court, why require public sympathy.

Yeah. ASUU should have kept quiet. They sued the university to court and they are still lying against the University VC on newspaper pages. Let them wait for the court judgment.

ASUU-LASU and their allies are bunch of rogues hiding under unionism to perpetrate evil and they turn around to lie and cry victims.

WHEN WILL ASUU SAY THE TRUTH IN LASU?


"When light shines on murkiness, those exposed by the stinging rays often berate the light rather than regret the muck. More so, a man who has done no wrong surely has no reason to wail over spilled milk or blackmail innocent people".

Many at times in Nigeria, our collective albeit dangerous silence towards pressing national issues is culpable for our constant struggle for development as a nation. Recent events at the Lagos State University call for critical analysis and fairness on the university stakeholders. Based on ongoing reports, it is evident that some Excos of the Academic Staff Union at the Lagos State University in connivance with its zonal and national body are bent on whipping up sentiments and creating unnecessary tension at the state university. LASU is still trying to put behind years of devastating crisis while once again working vigorously hard to emerge as a university to reckon with in Africa.

For those who may be at sea, ASUU has been waging a lone and lonely war against the University Management led by Professor Olanrewaju Adigun Fagbohun following the rightful dismissal of over 11Lecturers for various misconduct. Among these dismissed lecturers are the erstwhile Chairman and Vice Chairman of ASUU - LASU, Drs : Oyewunmi and Adebowale Suenu. Oyewunmi held back the destiny of a student for over five years. The student's only offence was his failure to bribe Dr Oyewunmi with #50,000 for the processing of his results. For Dr Suenu, whom prior to his dismissal was the Acting Head of Department of History and International Studies. Dr Suenu was dismissed for unilaterally altering the results of over 12 students who normally has no business in the university. A colleague of mine who is a recent graduate of that department substantiated the allegations against Dr Suenu. He(Suenu) is said to have been illegally upgrading the results of withdrawn and extra year students even a year before he was finally caught in the act. What ASUU is also not telling the world is that : Dr Suenu was not the only one that was dismissed for this particular offense(illegal alteration/upgrade of results). Dr Ademeso who was once the H.O.D of Theatre Arts and Music was dismissed for a similar offense. In fact, other Lecturers at the Faculty of Education(Dr Olugbenro Odofin) and Faculty of Management Sciences(Dr Scholarstica Udegbe) were also dismissed for the same offense. Interestingly, it was the Immediate Past Chairman of ASUU ( Dr Adekunle Idris)while acting as a whistleblower who reported the case of alterations in his Faculty to the university vice chancellor through a text message. The university vice chancellor ordered a forensic audit on the online portal being used by all Heads of Departments for uploading/upgrading of results - in the course of which different culpable names came up including Dr Suenu. Thus,the fact that ASUU is busy crying on the pages of newspapers that their Vice Chairman was dismissed for being a Unionist is a billion miles away from the truth. A mere investigative visit to the Department of History and International Studies in LASU will bring on board facts from staff and students of the department who will tell you how notorious Dr Suenu was in the act of alteration for cash. In fact, one of the ASUU- LASU stalwarts - Mr Oyekan Adeolu(the Assistant General Secretary of the Union) has a track record of sexually molesting female students in his office. This explains why these corrupt and morally bankrupt individuals use the platform of ASUU to veil their evil deeds and present themselves to the society as activists and saints unfortunately pseudo ones.

To buy time and keep the fire of blackmail and falsehood burning, ASUU has challenged the dismissal of their erstwhile colleagues in court. Even though ASUU challenged the dismissal of only two of their former members(out of the dismissed 15 as if the rest did not pay union dues), one would have thought the sleeping dog would lie peacefully till when the Judgement is delivered. However, just some days ago, a group of 4-5 individuals parading themselves as ASUU - LASU excos inundated the media with series of false allegations against the university management all in a bid to whip up public sentiments and misinform unsuspecting members of the public . In one of their claims, ASUU accused the University Vice Chancellor of not advertising the vacant positions of Principal Officers in LASU.This is totally false. About 3-4 weeks ago, there was an advert on the university official bulletin and of course on national newspapers about these vacant positions and how interested applicants should go about it. Or did ASUU stopped reading the news for a while or are they just purposely bent on telling lies?

There were also other numerous baseless and false accusations including the election of a Deputy Vice Chancellor (Administration) even when the current occupant of that post was elected last year. Hence, how come ASUU is accusing the University Vice Chancellor of not conducting election into an Office that has already been filled up since last year?

ASUU - LASU's constant promotion of falsehood against the University Vice Chancellor - Professor Olanrewaju Fagbohun only exposes them the more as a body that lacks integrity,credibility and the moral rights to hold anyone accountable. The national body of ASUU has also failed to hold its constituents to high moral standards. Instead, it has sadly shielded and even sponsored the devilish overtures of its 'brothers-in-crime" in LASU.

For Nigeria to move forward, we must hold Lecturers in our universities accountable. Without that, we are nowhere near sustainable development as a people.
