The chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), UNILAG branch, Karo Ogbinaka, has said that the union will resist the re-naming of the university’s name.
“We are resisting it, all the unions and the students will resist it, the Alunmus will resist it,” Mr Ogbinaka affirmed.
“Nobody will change Harvard’s name, nobody will change Cambridge’s name to Winston Churchill University. University of Lagos is a brand, for 50 years,” Mr. Ogbinaka said.
He added that UNILAG is the first university established by Act of Parliament and one man can try to score cheap political point with the institution.
“It’s a senseless thing and we are going to resist it” he said.
