The Lagos State University Students’ Union, LASUSU, has condemned the online bulletin released by the university management where it indicated that the “declared recess is still very much in force”.
In a declaration made available to P.M.NEWS Campus Square, LASUSU stated that it respectfully asserts that the online bulletin released by LASU management shows how irrational and reckless the management is towards the reopening of LASU.
“The love of LASUites is never in the heart of the management as we can deduce that the management and the State Government are not ready to reopen the school since they are not forthcoming with regards to the issue of resumption.
“In this light, the Students’ Union condemns and rejects in totality the online bulletin released by LASU Management that ‘the recess is very much in force’ as most of our mates in other universities across the country are already graduating while we are still swimming in the pool of recess.
“Flowing from the aforesaid, the Students’ Union of LASU therefore gives a 48-hour Ultimatum to the Lagos State Government and the University Management to reopen the University for academic activities to return back to the state owned university otherwise, they cannot foretell the outcome if they defy the ultimatum,” the statement signed by LASUSU’s Public Relations Officer, Adebanjo Fatai, read.
The ultimatum has since expired but the students are yet to make good their threat.
