The Federal Government has directed the authorities of the University of Lagos to suspend its forthcoming convocation cereminies because they did not get the approval of the school’s governing council.
A letter from the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education to the Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission (NUC) which contains the directive reads:
“The attention of the honourable minister has been drawn to the attached copy of letter dated 2nd of March, 2020 from the pro-chancellor and Chairman of Council, Dr. B.O Babalakin to the effect that the 2019 convocation ceremonies were not approved by the Governing Council in line with the laws of the university.
