The University College of Medicine has thrown out belongings of students from halls of residence in the institution.

SaharaReporters gathered the institution had asked graduating students to resume as ordered by the state government and informed others to move out their properties from the hostels.

Schools in the state had been closed since March as part of measures to curb the spread of Coronavirus.

The governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, recently directed all tertiary institutions under the state to reopen on September 14.

“After the reopening, the state government asked that only students in exit classes should resume and also instructed students in middle classes to move their things out of the hostel.

“But some of them couldn’t come back to pick their belongings because they are not in Lagos. I think this is very insensitive and silly, there should be a way to help them manage their belongings rather than throwing them out like that,” a student said.

Many items belonging to students including electronics were left in the rain after they were thrown out by the school’s management.

When contacted, Coordinator, Centre for Information, Press and Public Relations of the university, Mr Ademola Adekoya, feigned ignorance of the development, promising to get back to our correspondent when he has enough information on the incident.

Commenting on the development, however, Acting Provost of the Lagos State University College of Medicine, Prof Abiodun Adewuya, said, “Students left March and we asked them to move all their belongings out of the hostel because we want to renovate the hostels.

“We are renovating our hostels, we had given the notice a long time ago, the students’ body sent the notice to all the classes and the idea is that after a deadline, if there are things that are still there, we will move them out so that we can renovate the rooms, that’s the situation.”

Why would a sane individual do this?

Why would a responsible school management engage in this?


Well, people do rubbish because our justice system is rubbish!

If organizations, institutions and citizens know that they can be sued/punished/penalized for acting against what is acceptable, we will have less of absurd actions like this.

This is highly insensitive.

I'd support them on this. Why would students leave their belongings in school and go on a break. As if to say


I'm sure some of em have been squatting in school during lockdown



If you attack this guys, you're a big fan of corruption

Nigeria just too full of jokes abeg...

Disgusting

Why do Nigerian universities treat her students like animals? With the economic situation of students and their parents, you are destroying their properties. You won't provide for them, you won't make policies that will make businesses thrive. Yet, you are so quick to making life hard for them. This is bad. Really bad. Your children aren't in these schools. I don't blame you sha. It will be over soon. Nigerians will one day get the respect that they deserve.

No be small stealing go take place

sad

in as much as I want to become relevant on nairalander, I condemn this act, sometimes, I hardly read a whole article in Nigeria daily happenings, always just as expected.

I keep wondering why is it that the american industry is so dominated by blacks, and life matters. and Nigerians always out to display their assumptions.

But they were warned before this action was taken
.
Two wrongs don't make a right though.

Too bad

In as much as i don't support this destructive act, don't we think the school management might have given them an ultimatum and several reminders before moving these things out?

Nigerians are very stubborn....not even when students always have aluta mentality. A tenant served several letters (notice) and deliberately failed to move out will also snap pictures and put on social media for pity.

We too dey do things anyhow for this country

Waawu

I said it bfr and I ll still say it.. Nigeria is a failed and deceptive country

Madibah:
Damnnnnn niggarrr

you don chop swalomirr shi*

Maka why na.

If the students were notified long b4 now, then it is the fault of the students..

Some are just stubborn sha

Can't they put it in a store for them?

You see how Nigerians treat each other. That's why those we vote into power treat us the same way

See as the school even dey

How about those who reside in the east and up north, should they pack all their belongings back to their abode all because school was shut down for months. Try and be sensitive

Very insensitive

A

What a country !!!

Even the ivory towers is not more than a jungle. Zoo is an understatement

Ok

If they were given adequate notice to remove their belongings and they still ignored it then the school is not liable in this instance!
