The Lagos State House of Assembly has resolved to invite the Commissioner for Tertiary Education, TOLANI AKIBU, Vice Chancellor of Lagos State University (LASU), Professor IBIYEMI OLATUNJI-BELLO, Senate of the institution and other top staff over allegations of extortion and certificate racketeering levelled against the school.
Moving the motion under ‘Matter of Urgent Public Importance’, a lawmaker, OWOLABI AJANI, told his colleagues that there was a need to invite the commissioner, Vice Chancellor, and others to get first-hand information.
While noting that the source of the story could be suspicious, the Speaker of the House, MUDASHIRU OBASA resolved that the concerned officials should be summoned to brief the chamber to save the reputation of the tertiary institution.
He submitted that LASU has maintained a high level of integrity over the years, which must be sustained.
