Unilag suspends 51st convocation
According to recent reports, the University of Lagos (UNILAG) has suspended its 51st Convocation Ceremony, which was initially scheduled to hold on March 17, 2023.
The decision to suspend the convocation was taken due to the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which has been ongoing since February 14, 2023. The strike has affected academic activities across the country, including UNILAG.
In a statement released by the university's management, it was explained that the suspension of the convocation ceremony was necessary to avoid any inconvenience or disruption to the academic calendar.
The statement also assured that the university would continue to monitor the situation and would provide updates on the rescheduling of the convocation ceremony once the strike is called off.
It's worth noting that the ASUU strike has been ongoing for several weeks, and many universities across the country have been affected. The strike is over issues such as funding, salaries, and the implementation of the 2009 FGN-ASUU agreement.
