UNILAG SUG LEADER REFUSE TERMS OF MANAGEMENT FOR RESUMPTION

Unilag Management had suspended the Executive and the legislative am of the students  leadership

According to Mr Mohammed Olaniyan, the
President of the students' Union, signing the
undertaking is tantamount to signing away
their rights.
He wondered why the management will decide
to suspend the students' union when the
section 40 of the 1999 Constitution of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended)
grants the right to peaceful assembly and
association and equally debunked the
assertions by the, management that the
protest was violent as no school facilities
were destroyed.
He also stated that the union saw no reason
why the school management will direct
already matriculated students to apply before
they will be re-absorbed into the institution as
stipulated in the terms and conditions of the
undertaken.
“Let us state unequivocally that no student
was expelled, suspended or rusticated as a
consequence of our peaceful protest. Hence,
we find it shocking that the school
management has decided to re-absorb/re-
admit already matriculated students. Besides,
it is truism that an agreement entered into
under duress and undue influence is voidable
at the instance of the influenced party. We,
therefore, reject in strong terms the terms and
conditions attached to our resumption.” He
stressed.
