The Special Presidential Visitation panel set up to probe the leadership crisis rocking the University of Lagos (UNILAG) has submitted its report to the Federal Government.
The report was presented by Chairman of the Visitation Panel, Professor Tukur Sa’ad to the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, on Thursday in Abuja.
Adamu said the report would be of assistance to the President to make informed decision to stop the lingering crisis in UNILAG.
He said, “It is my hope that the panel interacted with the officials and stakeholders who are supposed to contribute to the solution of the crisis as well as have a fair and balance of the issues at hand.
“The Visitor to the University will make a decision on the matter as appropriate after due consideration of the report in order to ensure peace and conducive learning environment at the University of Lagos and the University system as a whole.”
The panel was inaugurated on 26th of August, 2020 with a period of two weeks to carry out necessary investigations and submit its report as well as come up with recommendations towards repositioning the institution to its pride of place in the Nigerian university system.
He expressed gratitude to the members of the panel for their diligence and dedication to the assignment.
Chairman of the panel, Prof. Sa’ad in his remark stated that the University of Lagos had been bedevilled over a year involving management, Governing Council and other stakeholders, saying, however, that the content of the report would not be divulged to the public until it gets to the President who is expected to take the necessary action.
