Professor Oluwatoyin Ogundipe Remains UNILAG VC

The attention of the University of Lagos (Unilag) Management has been drawn to the ‘Notice to the General Public on the Removal of the Vice-Chancellor, University of Lagos’ dated August 12, 2020, and signed by Oladejo Azeez, Esq, Registrar and Secretary to Council, stating that the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe, FAS has been removed from office with immediate effect.

The purported removal is an illegality and cannot stand as it is in clear violation of the University of Lagos Act as amended by the Universities (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Amendment) Act 2003.

Therefore, members of the University of Lagos community and the general public are advised to disregard the information about the sitting Vice-Chancellor of the University contained in the notice. Professor Oluwatoyin Temitope Ogundipe remains the Vice-Chancellor of University of Lagos.

Thank you.

Signed

Professor Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe, FAS
Vice Chancellor, University of Lagos
