It’s now confirmed the Acting Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos State (UNILAG) steps down.
This was confirmed after a special visitation panel was set up in the school by the Nigerian government on Friday.
The University Senate were also directed by the Nigerian government to nominate a new acting VC.
Soyombo in a statement on Saturday said he’s stepping down with immediate effect.
He said,
“With this, I am stepping down with immediate effect as Acting Vice Chancellor of the university.
“I wish to express my sincere appreciation to all members of staff and our dear students, the staff unions, alumni, and the general public for their wonderful support and cooperation in the past 10 days since my appointment as Acting Vice Chancellor of the university on 12th August.
“As I noted in my address to a cross-section of staff on 19th August, I accepted the offer to serve as a call to service, with the objective of restoring peace and stability in the university.”
