A group of lecturers at the Lagos State University, LASU, ‘The Liberators’ and members of the alumni association of the institution, have urged the Visitor to the University, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to allow merit to prevail in the selection of the ninth substantive Vice-Chancellor of the university.
The Liberators, in a memorandum to the Visitation Panel, set-up by the governor to look into certain things in the university, noted that anything short of selecting the next VC on merit would reverse the gains recorded in the university in the last few years.
