Contrary to what the the school management said through the acting DSA, Karo concerning the reasons why ULSU led the protest on Thursday, April 7 which eventually led to the closure of the school the following day. The university of lagos student union has come out to debunk it as it is all untrue. The acting Dean of student affairs on Sunday on channels television said the ULSU:

That the student held him and the VC hostage till 1.30am.

That Ulsu collect money from sellers on campus 

That Ulsu went on to vandalize Unilag Water Factory. 

That Ulsu was using their bus for Water business.

The PRO of the student union Jumai Fabuyi in a short interview said shes surprised at the school management says on air, as it is nothing but a lie. She has the following to say in response to the first report:

The protest on Thursday ended at exactly 9pm, I don't know when the acting DSA or VC or anyone was kidnapped or held hostage because it didn't happen and it would never happen. In as much as we protested for our rights, we are still law abiding members of the school. 

Addressing the issue of taxing the sellers on campus, the operation of the sellers on campus is beyond our jurisdiction, ULSU does not collect money from unilag sellers. The water factory that was said to be vandalised during the protest, has been closed for two weeks before the day of the protest, no property was destroyed there during the demonstration. 

Finally, the issue of ULSU following water vendors to distribute water to various halls of residence. If this is a crime the school management should let the students of the unilag know.

PRESS RELEASE
It is with utmost enthusiasm and hope, that the Breezy Brainz Global Entertainment in conjunction with the University of Lagos Students’ Union(ULSU) wishes to intimate the general public about a sickle cell initiative tagged, #RUNFORYOURLIFE aka UNILAG MARATHON
#RUNFORYOURLIFE is a campaign against the dreadful anaemia called SICKLE CELL. The idea was born out of the sheer passion of the organisers for rendering humanitarian services as well as promoting grassroots sports to the members of the public. A recent survey carried out by Wold Health Organisation (W.H.O.) in Nigeria revealed that over 40 million Nigerians are carriers of the anaemia, 1 million people are living with this anaemia, and over 100,000 babies die as a result of this bane yearly.
That is why the BBGE in collaboration with ULSU have decided to break the silence and take the words to the neighbourhood. It is not an act of God, neither is it an act of witchcraft, nor is it an act of the gods………do not be disillusioned, it is an act of man. Prevention is a better option than cure; sickle cell anaemia can be prevented. The attack on sickle cell anaemia have been jointly launched by BBGE and ULSU, as we organise the maiden edition of “UNILAG MARATHON”, tagged #RUNFORYOURLIFE. Its intent is to take the campaign to the nooks and crannies of the UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS environment.
Nevertheless, it is a fight than can not be won by these two bodies alone. We hereby call on individuals, organisations/ corporate bodies, and government agencies to support this campaign, as we move towards sending this bane off the edge of a cliff.
The event details is given thus:
Registration: 17th of February – 16th of March, 2016
Press Briefing: Monday, 28th of March, 2016
Pre-Event Day Activity: Thursday, 21st of April, 2016
Event Day Activity:  Saturday, 23rd of April, 2016

Erudite scholars of our great institution,

Our unreserved apologies for the inaccessibility of the library cannot be over emphasized.
This is largely due to a communication gap between the school authority and the library management. It wasn't communicated to the library authority that the sanitation exercise was cancelled due to the JAMB exams purposes.
The library will be open by two, we are sorry for any inconvenience and distortion of your reading plan.

Please keep calm.
Together in scholarly activities, Jumai AF,

The University of Lagos Students’ Union (ULSU) legislative council has cancelled the two programmes proposed by the executive council of the union. The programmes tagged “Freshers’ Orientation Programme” and “Legends Unite” were both slated to hold on Friday, 12th February, 2016 at the Indoor Sports Hall of the Sports Centre. The cancellation was contained in statement issued by the ULSU legislative council, signed by the chairman, committee on Media and Publicity of the legislative council, Hon. Damilare Bayero. The students union executive council has also been mandated to cancel all plans put in place for the events. The statement reads in part “This is to inform all students and associated bodies of the University of Lagos about the cancellation of the ULSU’s Freshers’ “Orientation Programme” and “Legends Unite” both slated to hold on Friday, 12th February, 2016 at the Indoor Sports Hall of the Sports Centre.” According to the statement, the programmes were cancelled because the allocated expenditure for both events was incredible and cannot be borne by the Union’s resources. “The reasons for the cancellation of the events are stated thus: The allocated expenditure for both events is incredible and cannot be borne by the Union’s resources. We are already in the seventh week since the day of resumption,” the statement read. The parliament noted that there have been other orientation programmes ranging from the University orientation, faculty and faculty associations’ orientation, department and departmental associations’ orientation, and halls of residence orientation organized for students on campus. It said, “Students have not been given accommodation (bed spaces) which is of high priority to us right now concerning the distance so many of us stay.” The legislative council also stated that the proposed budget which the ULSU executive council planned to expend on the events was “overwhelming, ridiculous and incredible.”“The amount cannot be borne by the resources of the ULSU which are meant to be used in catering for all of its activities and projects which are unlimited. “The ULSU Executive Council is proposing to spend 1,121,500 naira on the orientation programme with a whopping 1,000,000 naira going to feeding alone; they are also spending 700,000 naira on “Legends Unite”; both of which amount to a hilarious 1,821,500 naira. “It is therefore affirmed that the “Orientation Programme” and “Legends Unite” are both irrelevant and unnecessary as we cannot be at this stage of resumption and still be orientating the students. All students are deep into academic activities and there will be little or no regard for an “orientation” at this period. “Furthermore, there have been numerous other orientation programmes for these students already. The University orientation programme, faculties’ orientation, orientations held by their various departments and even the halls of residence. “In all these cases, ULSU Officers, from Students Executive Council [SEC] and Students Legislative Council [SLC], were invited to these orientation programmes to address the students on students’ unionism and its roles. “Therefore, the ULSU’s orientation will be a repetition of all these other preceding activities. With all relevant factors being put into consideration, we, the Students Legislative Council [SLC], see, and agree to it, that the “Orientation Programme” and “Legends Unite” are a waste of the ULSU’s resources which are meant to be used to meet unlimited ends. “Following all the aforementioned, all students and associated bodies of the University of Lagos are thereby enjoined to disregard any information getting to them on the events and to disregard the events in its entirety, including its organizers, as both have been cancelled and are not activities organized by the union.” Meanwhile, reacting to the cancellation of the programme, the ULSU president,Comrade Mohammed Olaniyan argued that the need to organize the programmes for the newly-admitted students can not be. underestimated. He noted that the were lots of issues which the new students do not understand and needed to be educated on adding that the budget proposal for the programme was well scrutinized. “students on campus need to be educated not even on what to buy. We have problem the new with course registration. They don’t know what GSD mean; good standing. All these we need to educate them on how to go about them,” he said. Olaniyan however, stressed that the executive council will re appeal for the programmes to hold.

Greatest Akokites!!! This is where we are on the water issue. We have tried to reach the root of the matter and we are making a headway. The UNILAG VENTURES claim that the cost of sachet water nylon production has skyrocketed thereby resulting in the increase of the of the price. We have however, made other findings and thinking of getting other alternatives to ease this water constraint on campus. The union would like for you to know that we've got your back on this. We hope for God's speed in resolving this issue, because your welfare is our priority.. God bless UNILAG.. Jumai AF.. ULSU PRO
