Drama in Unilag!
On Wednesday, August 12, 2020, the Governing Council of the University of Lagos purportedly removed Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe from office as the Vice-Chancellor of the University.
By law, the Council can only recommend the removal of any of its members to the president who thereafter decides, in writing, whether or not the council’s recommendation should stand. We are glad he has gone to court to challenge this. We can not run our universities like this and expect our students to be in a position to compete globally. The Governing Council's actions must be challenged conclusively.

Ex EFCC acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu was in the news again but this time, with a pastor in the mix. Mr Magu, who is under probe for alleged embezzlement and mismanagement of recovered assets under his watch as the acting EFCC chairman, was accused of allegedly using Emmanuel Omale, Founder of the Divine Hand of God Prophetic Ministry, to launder funds abroad.
In his defence, Mr Magu said the allegations levied against him were false, calling them attempts to bring setbacks to the feats achieved by the EFCC during his time as the acting Chairman.
Interestingly, Adamu Nuru, CEO, First City Monument Bank (FCMB) where these transactions were allegedly made, said the Bank realised that N573m was transferred into the pastor's account in "error" four years after 🤷🏿♀️. He probably should have taken fainting lessons from Daniel Pondei instead of this claim.
While we recognise the efforts of the committee in investigating these allegations, we call for them to leave no stone unturned and ensure that culprits face the full wrath of the law.
