LASU crisis lingers; exams postponed indefinitely

Lagos —The crisis rocking the Lagos State University, LASU, Ojo Local Government has continued to linger, as the school management postponed the first semester examination scheduled to commence Monday,  indefinitely.
Meantime, the LASU Student Union Government has condemned the postponement, saying “The postponement has delayed our academic progress, and the reason given by the school management was wrong and untenable.”
The indefinite postponement was contained in the management bulletin released by the centre for Information, Press and Public Relations, CIPPR of the Vice Chancellor’s office dated July 3rd, 2015.
Sources said that the school management three weeks ago reviewed the protracted 2014/2015 academic calendar, saying examination for the first semester which was already seven months old would commence on July 6th, 2015.
But three days to the commencement of the first semester examination, the University management backtracked on its earlier statement.
The statement issued by the institution management reads in part: “The University Management hereby informs students, Staff and Members of the University community that the 2014/2015 Harmattan Semester Examination earlier scheduled to commence on Monday, July 6th, 2015 has been postponed till further notice.”
Reacting to the indefinite postponement, the President of LASU SUG, Mr. Adeyemi Onikoro  said that the review of the academic calendar by the school management three weeks ago returned sanity to the university environment.
