In preparations to resumption activities, the University of Lagos (UNILAG) has announced a ban on heavily-tinted vehicles on campus.
The Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research and Academics, Prof. Oluwole Familoni, announced this on Friday during a press briefing to announce UNILAG’S resumption for the second semester of the 2019/2020 academic session.
He said that the decision was informed by rising security challenges, especially attacks in institutions of learning.
“We are aware of the disturbing security situation in the country especially as it concerns institutions of higher learning.
“We are being proactive by taking some necessary steps to protect our students.
“We are in collaboration with some security agencies around our students for increased presence on campus.
“We also have our own intelligence that is unknown to anyone.
“We have made everywhere well lit and have provided CCTV mechanisms.
“But having said this, I want to state that our students must help themselves by being security conscious at all times,” he said.
According to him, UNILAG’s second semester of the 2019/2020 academic session will start on May 9.
He said only students who would meet laid down conditions will be allowed into halls of residence.
