A memo made public to staff and student of the school revealed that the school senate came to this decision after holding an emergency meeting on Thursday, April 7th.
A protest was held on Thursday where UNILAG students decried the uncomfortable living situation at the school. Students were agitated over the poor electricity and water supply in the school premises. They also protested against the difficulties faced by students living off campus to get to class for lectures due to the fuel scarcity.
