- “I believe that there is more to what is happening in the institution despite what we are seeing.”
The speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudasiru Obasa, has said there is more to what the public knows about the crisis rocking the Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, over the appointment of the institution’s 9th substantive vice-chancellor.
Obasa, who spoke during Tuesday’s plenary, condemned the protracted controversies surrounding the appointment of another helmsman for the university, saying the development is already drawing the university back.

A statement issued by the speaker’s spokesman, Eromosele Ebhomele, said the speaker called on the governor to quickly address the matter while also tasking the parliament’s committee on education to unravel the mystery surrounding the development.
He said: “We eulogised LASU over its feats recently only for the issue of succession to draw the institution back.
“They have regulations on how a VC should be selected. They did a test for the people shortlisted for the office and their marks were very close to one another. They should have selected one of the shortlisted candidates. If you can’t pick the one that came first, you should pick the number two or number three up to number five.
“I believe that there is more to what is happening in the institution despite what we are seeing.”
