Students of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) have been asked to vacate the institution’s Akoka, Yaba campus with immediate effect.
The institution revealed that some students had protested the incessant power outage in the school and poor power supply and had moved to meet with the management on Thursday, April 7, with a view to finding a lasting solution to the crisis.
But rather than proffer a solution
to the issues raised by the students, the management of the institution, rising
from an emergency meeting on Thursday, ordered the students out of the
institution while other activities in the school continues.
In a circular passed on Thursday,
the students were asked to leave the school on or before 10.00 am on Friday,
April 8 until municipal services improve. As at the time of filing this report,
sources say the students’ union leader, Mohammed Olaniyan was arrested and
released. But his phone was collected from him
In a tweet by one of the students of
the institution, about ten patrol vehicles of the Nigeria Police Force were
sighted at the institution to enforce the management’s order.
Over 10 patrol vehicles of
@NGPoliceForce can be sighted in #UNILAG. This is not war!

students of the institution were seen jumping over the fence to leave the
