Earlier today, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu vowed not to interfere with the ongoing selection process that would lead to the appointment of the substantive Vice-Chancellor of the state-owned Lagos State University (LASU).

The Governor said he does not have a personal interest in who becomes the next Vice-Chancellor of LASU and therefore has no intention to influence the process, adding that due process would be followed in the appointment.

Sanwo-Olu made the statement while receiving members of the Committee of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities (CVCNU) led by its chairman, Prof. Samuel Edoumiekumo, who paid him a courtesy visit at the Lagos House, Ikeja on Tuesday.

“The process for the appointment of the substantive Vice-Chancellor of the Lagos State University (LASU) is ongoing and I can assure you that all the laws and due process that would lead to the appointment of the vice chancellor would be fully adhered to.

“I have no intention to interfere or have any interest in the choice of who would be vice-chancellor. We have put in the committee men and women of impeccable character that have distinguished themselves and are willing to do for us a good job,” he said.

/Sanwo-Olu, who promised adequate and continuous funding for state-owned tertiary institutions in Lagos State, said plans were in top gear to establish two additional universities of technology and education in the State.

The Governor also promised to assist the Committee of Vice Chancellors of Nigerian Universities to get back the title documents of its property situated at Idowu Taylor Street, Victoria Island in Lagos, saying the property would be released to the Committee at no cost.
