Striking Non-Academic Staff Caution UNILAG To Put Off Convocation

Striking Non-academic Staff Caution UNILAG To Put Off Convocation 


The University of Lagos is under pressure from the Non- Academic Staff Union of Universities and the Associated Institutions and the National Association of Academic Technologists, to postpone its 50th convocation ceremonies scheduled to commence on February 19, following the strike that had let to shut down of some administrative buildings on the university campus.

The striking workers have also extended their protest to the UNILAG Staff School, causing panic among pupils and parents.
Speaking to newsmen, the chairman of NASU-UNILAG, Kehinde Ajibade, said the university authorities have been warned to postpone the convocation.
He noted that the striking workers might not supply social amenities needed during the convocation.


“The stand of the union is that the university management should suspend the (convocation) operations.
“There is no way to do that (the convocation) when the three unions are on strike.
“The environment is not going to be conducive, no water and electricity, among others. The management of the UNILAG is expected to do the needful and they should postpone the convocation ceremony.”
When contacted on the telephone on Monday, the university’s Principal Assistant Registrar, Information Unit, Mrs. Taiwo Oloyede, expressed uncertainty over the organisation of the convocation as scheduled.
 “I cannot say anything categorical on that. We are having a management meeting today and I hope that we will resolve all issues relating to the convocation.”
