MOSHOOD ABIOLA UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN BY F.G
The Federal Government has ordered the suspension of academic activities at the University of Lagos, UNILAG, as students poured into the streets to protest the renaming of the institution.
President Goodluck Jonathan announced Tuesday on National television that the University of Lagos would be renamed M.K.O. Abiola University in honor of the presidential hopeful’s “martyrdom.”
Abiola was a businessman widely believed to be the winner of a 1993 presidential poll annulled by Gen. Ibrahim Babangida. Babangida’s military successor, Gen. Sani Abacha, then jailed Abiola who died in detention in 1998.
