UNILAG SUG President Arrested As Students Vacate School After Total Shutdown

09:21:00 0
university-of-lagos-1
Following an order by the authorities of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) closing down the campus earlier today, students are now vacating the campus.
President of the Student Union Government (SUG) of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Mohammed Olaniyan, has been reportedly arrested on Thursday by security operatives following the protest by students.
The school’s management issued a directive that all students vacate the halls of residence before 10:00am on Friday. However, the students decided to disregard the directive with the student union locking the halls of residence, thus preventing the exit of any student.
They clamoured for the presence of Olaniyan whom they referred to as their ‘school father’, as they waited till 9:30pm on Thursday for Rahmon Ade Bello, vice chancellor of the university, to address them, but the address didn’t happen.

Vehicles of the Lagos state Rapid Response Squad were at the university premises but no other arrest was made. Olaniyan himself was released after a few hours as the opinion of some students of the university is that the management wants to push them to violence.
Meanwhile, following an order by the authorities of the school closing down the campus earlier today, students are now vacating the campus as the gate of the university has been taken over by heavily armed policemen, who are supervising the students’ movement out of the campus.
It can be recalled that UNILAG’s management ordered the indefinite closure of the school earlier today, stating that students’ protest border on a national situation which the management cannot address internally. The administration added that the school will reopen once fuel scarcity situation becomes normal in Nigeria.

Medical Student Sued UNILAG (SEE REASONS)

10:23:00 0
Medical students of the University of Lagos, UNILAG, have pleaded with the Federal High Court to prevent the university senate from going ahead with its plans to change the academic requirement needed by them to proceed to 200-level.
Medical Student Sued UNILAG (SEE REASONS)
The 100 level students described the decision taken by the school as “an attempt to weed them out of the university.
The aggrieved students complained that they were admitted to study dentistry, nursing, pharmacology and medicine but they have been asked to study other courses like botany and microbiology, Punch reports.
They accused  the authorities of introducing new entry requirements at the point of their  moving to 200 level, despite scoring more than the 50 per cent.
The students accused the university of raising the academic requirement in order to accommodate diploma students, who allegedly paid N500,000 to the institution’s College of Medicine.
The aggrieved students, through their lawyer, Mr. Jiti Ogunye, therefore, urged the court to declare the Senate decision as a nullity.

They added, “
The said revision was not carried out with noble and genuine intentions to enhance academic standards in the MBBS and other medical programmes in the College of Medicine.They claimed that upon being admitted to the university, the academic requirements they needed to proceed to the second year were clearly stated in the Faculty of Science pre-Medical and Pharmacy Programmes 2014-2016 Information Handbook made available to them.
“It was also not for the reason of adherence to the admission quota of either the National Universities Commission or of the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria for the MBBS in the College of Medicine, (which is 150 for the College of Medicine).
“It was for the purpose of creating admission spaces for foundational course students who are given (or more appropriately sold) admission into the MBBS and other medical programmes upon participating in a one-year programme organised by a Joint Unified Preliminary Examination Board for which they paid to the university  a minimum total fee of N400,000 per session.
“The said payment is part of the internally generated revenue of the university, a stream of revenue which has attracted wide criticism in the university system in Nigeria, for lack of transparency and accountability in its management.”

UNILAG Medical Students Protest Change In Cut-Off Marks

University of Lagos, UNILAG medical students protest the university’s decision to increase the cut-off marks.

UNILAG Medical Students Protest Change In Cut-Off Marks
Undergraduate students of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) on Wednesday shut down the gates to the university to protest the university’s decision to increase the cut-off marks they must meet in order to continue their medical training.
According to the students, they got the shock of their lives when they turned up at the College of Medicine for resumption of both academic and practical courses and they were turned back by the College management saying the new quota system will not be able to accommodate all of them.
“Despite meeting all stipulated conditions, paid required fees, all the management could tell us is that we are not welcome at the College of Medicine. How possible can Medicine and Surgery students be refused the rights to study in College of Medicine? It is sheer callousness,” Moji Adenekan, a protesting MMBS student said.
The UNILAG Head, Information Unit, Mr. Toyin Adebule, made this known in a statement on Wednesday night.
According to him, UNILAG authorities will not want to flout such directive, as those admitted outside the quota will not be allowed to practice after graduation.
The statement read in part, “This year, the professional bodies have insisted on the enforcement of the quota upon which accreditation is hinged and hence the college has had to conform.  What this means is that only students that are indexed will be registered by the professional bodies to practice after graduation.
“Senate at its meeting held on Wednesday, 27th January, 2016 had approved the implementation of the re-arrangement to conform to the professional bodies’ quota in order not to lose accreditation. This has regrettably meant that we have only been able to receive students into the college only up to the number the College of Medicine is allowed by the quota.
“We recognise and regret that this has led to some students being unable to cross over into the College of Medicine or their course of choice. Consequently, all candidates who were not successful to be placed in programmes in CMUL have been allocated to appropriate programmes on the main campus in Akoka.”

UNILAG Students Built an Electric Car (PICTURES)

09:30:00 0
This is what we heard in the news, that UNILAG Students Built an Electric Car. A group of Mechanical Engineering students from the University of Lagos have built an electric-powered car from scratch, using locally sourced materials.
UNILAG Students Built an Electric Car (PICTURES)
UNILAG Students Built an Electric Car (PICTURES)
The project, which began in 2014, was initiated by two engineering graduates (then undergrads), Olukoya Olusanya and Maduka Smart, who later enlisted the help of other mechanical engineering students culminated in the fact that UNILAG Students Built an Electric Car. The result of the collaboration was a zero emission electric powered prototype vehicle called dubbed the DOVE P1.
The DOVE P1, which is made of a fibre glass body, weighs in at about 200kg and is capable of speeds of up to 35 km/h.
While one would question the viability an electric car in a nation that struggles with reliable power supply. “Cars are going electric”, said team lead Olukoya Olusanya in an interview with CCTV News, “and I believe that in the next 15 years, more than half of all cars sold around the world will be either partially electric or fully electric”.
These are quite bold statements. All around the developed world, electric cars continue to struggle to get mass adoption. Their high cost, limited range do not help their cause much, even in developing nations where power is not a problem.
Nevertheless, Project Dove (as the team is called) remains confident that electric cars are the future. They have launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise $25,000 towards replicating the technology at other Universities all around Nigeria. It is quite wonderful that UNILAG Students Built an Electric Car.
