LASU students on the rampage over exam shift

Motorists and commuters on Ojo- Iyana-Iba Road in Lagos were once again stranded for many hours yesterday as the students of the Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, embarked on a protest. 

The students barricaded the road to protest what they described as the abrupt postponement of their first semester examination for the 2014/2015 academic session. The examination was earlier scheduled to begin on Monday.

The immediate past president of the union, Nurudeen Yusuff, said the university, which had resumed since January 23 for the semester, had refused to conduct examination because of the protracted conflict between the workers’ unions on the campus and the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. John Obafunwa.
