Lagos State
University (LASU) management, has cautioned leadership of Academic Staff Union
of Universities (ASUU), Lagos Zone, to stop distorting facts and
fabricating
stories that are capable of misguiding the public and bringing disunity in the
institution.
The university
spokesperson, Ademola Adekoya, in a statement issued, yesterday, and obtained
by The Guardian, said the group has become relentless in its crusade to
truncate the subsisting peace in the university and discredit Prof. Lanre
Fagbohun’s leadership by all means.
He advised
the group to desist from such act, as it portends grave danger for the future
of Nigerian universities, urging concerned stakeholders to rise up to save “our
ivory towers from further onslaught in the hands of these academic buccaneers.”
It would be
recalled that ASUU Lagos zonal coordinator, Prof. Olusiji Sowande, had during
the week accused LASU Vice Chancellor, Fagbohun of high-handedness in the sack
of some of their members, alongside other allegations.
Sowande, in
company of other ASUU leaders, therefore, called for setting up of a panel of
inquiry to look into the alleged crisis, adding that LASU management is
victimising their members.
But
countering that, Adekoya said: “It appears that the relative peace that has
permeated the university in the last two years since Fagbohun and his team came
on board does not bode well for some group of individuals. The all-inclusive
governance style of the current administration has seen LASU enjoying
unprecedented development and goodwill.
