UNILAG Shuts Down After Students’ Protest
University of Lagos, UNILAG has shut down after student protested against what they called water shortage and epileptic electricity. The student staged a protest to show their grievances to the management of the University on these issues. The management of the University of Lagos, yesterday, then ordered the immediate closure of the institution.
The University in a circular said the closure was also partly as result of the difficulties faced by the “large number of students” living off campus to attend classes as a result of the lingering fuel crisis.
“Senate noted that the problem of poor municipal service is a national issue that the governments at both state and federal level are addressing,” the circular stated.

“A decision to re-open for normal academic activities will be made as soon as municipal services improve. “All members of the University community are enjoined to go about their normal activities as adequate security measures have been put in place,” the circular added.
