Lagos State UniversityAuthorities of the Lagos State University (LASU) says the institution is undergoing ‘internal cleansing’ in line with President Muhammadu Buhari administration’s change initiative.
LASU spokesman, Adekoya Martins, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos that recent dismissal and suspension cases were not attempts to attack any individual or group but to sanitise its system.
“It is important to note that about 80 per cent of the cases were pending even before the current vice chancellor came on board and there is no way such offenses can be swept under the carpet .
“The previous crises in LASU were probably sponsored by most of the offenders, so that the management did not have an opportunity to open their files and the law did not catch up with them,” he said.
Martins noted that relative peace recently enjoyed in the university permitted the management to look into the files and sanctioned offenders accordingly.
