Concerned youths in Badagry, Lagos State, yesterday called on Governor
Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the Vice Chancellor of Lagos State University, Prof.
Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, to urgently reinstate the five dismissed lecturers by
Prof. Lanre Fagbohun for allegedly using missing documents to show alleged
fraud.
The youths, under the umbrella of Concerned Sons and Daughters of the
Ikoga-Zebbe Kingdom in Badagry, took to the streets to protest against the
unjust dismissal of five lecturers at the Lagos State University, Ojo.
Fielding questions from newsmen, the leader of the protesters, Abayomi
Medemaku, explained that they were compelled to make the call for justice and
fairness because they waited hopefully for five to seven years for the system
to right the wrongs that it permitted a few individuals to deliberately
commit.
He said: “We were forced to come out to kick-start a series of campaigns,
which ordinarily was unnecessary, if the authorities had listened to calls
from several quarters to do the needful.
“Dr. Tony Dansu, a lecturer at LASU who served as a leader of the Academic
Staff Union Universities (ASUU), and two other officers of the union were
wrongfully dismissed from the university in 2019 without any benefit. This
came on the heels of the prior dismissal of two officers of the same union
earlier in 2017.
“These officers of the union are Dr Isaac Oyewumi (Chairman), Dr Adebowale
Adeyemi-Suenu (Vice Chairman), Dr Tony Dansu (Secretary), Dr Adeolu Oyekan
(Assistant Secretary), and Dr Oluwakemi Aboderin-Shonibare (Treasurer).”
