The senate of the Lagos State University (LASU) has
appointed Damola Oke, the deputy vice-chancellor, administration, of the
institution, as the acting vice-chancellor.
His appointment was announced on Monday during the varsity’s
emergency senate meeting.
Oke is expected to replace Olanrewaju Fagbohun, the outgoing
vice-chancellor, whose tenure expired on January 11.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the
governor of Lagos, had cancelled the previous process for the appointment of a
new VC on the back of petitions arising from the selection procedure.
He had thereafter asked Fagbohun to convene an emergency
senate meeting towards appointing one of the deputy vice-chancellors as acting
vice-chancellor.
It is understood that over 18 professors from about 10 universities
applied for the job. There was, however, controversy over the qualification of
some candidates selected to replace Fagbohun.
