Members of the Academic Staff Union (ASUU), Lagos State University (LASU) Chapter on Tuesday, carrying placards and chanting songs, protested what they called illegality in the election of a new Deputy Vice-Chancellor in the institution.
The lecturers called for the immediate suspension of the election of the deputy vice-chancellor in charge of administration scheduled for later in the day.
Some of the placards read: ``DVC election, we say 'no to one man show' in a university of 30 years’’, ``until a properly convened Senate accepts your nominees, no election please’’, ``The VC is only first among equals, LASU Senate is not a private club, you cannot waive its rights’’.
The management of the university had in its official bulletin dated April 16 nominated Prof. Olatunji Abanikannda of the Faculty of Science and Prof. Fidelis Njokanma of the College of Medicine to run for the position.
It also scheduled the election for April 22.
The position had been vacant since Dec. 8, 2013.
