Gov. Ambode Promises To Address Security and Other Issues In UNILAG and LASU

He said: “I am aware that the student population in the university right now is about 40,000. Beyond the fact that the university authority is providing service to that large population, obviously the kind of services we are providing as a government are also complementing in making the school a favourable choice for people to continue to come and learn in Lagos. “UNILAG is situated in the heart of Lagos and so it is imperative that as a government, we should support in terms of security challenges and other challenges they might have in the institution.

“We will support the issues that concern students which we understand the Alumni Association is trying to address. We have this same kind of challenge in our own state university on the need to actually accommodate students to give them a conducive learning environment and it is important that we use our wherewithal to support the kind of initiative that the Alumni Association is trying to do. We will support this and ensure that we use our resources here also to support other areas that the present Vice Chancellor may think the State Government can intervene,”
