Few hours after the Senate of the University of Lagos declared the removal of the Vice Chancellor, Prof Oluwatoyin Ogundipe by the Governing Council illegal, the academic and non-academic members of staff of the University are right now holding a meeting.
The emergency meeting was called over the removal of Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe as the Vice Chancellor of UNILAG.
The staff chose to hold a joint meeting after leadership of the two unions had met separately.
During the meeting, the leaders of the unions took turns to address the workers.
“We will communicate the outcome of our meeting officially. I don’t want to be the one to divulge the outcome of the meeting,” a member of the Senate told journalists.
The lingering faceoff between Ogundipe and the Chairman, Governing Council of the institution, Dr Wale Babalakin, worsened on Wednesday as the council announced the removal of Ogundipe from office .
Ogundipe’s removal was contained in a statement by the Registrar of the institution, Oladejo Azeez.
The announcement came after a meeting it reportedly held in Abuja.
