A member of the Senate at the University of Lagos, Prof. Chioma Agomo, has said that the Governing Council is handling the institution as if it is a banana republic.
According to her, this is not possible and the Senate is out to resist it.
She said this with reference to the handling of the allegations against the Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, whom the Council has been announced suspended.
The Council led by Dr Wale Babalakin has appointed an Acting VC, Professor Theophilus Soyombo.
Agomo, a former Dean of the Faculty of Law, said the Senate had no problem with any allegation against Ogundipe, but due process must be followed in determining the value of the case.
She said the Senate had reported the matter to the National University Commission, the Federal Ministry of Education and the Presidency.
“Let the status quo remain and let due process be followed,” Agomo said.
