The University of Lagos (UNILAG), has refuted reports that Professor Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe has been removed as the institution’s Vice Chancellor.
The institution’s Registrar, Mr Oladejo Azeez, had on Wednesday issued a public notice on the purported removal of the Vice Chancellor at a meeting held at the National Universities Commission (NUC’s) office in Abuja.
Responding to the notice, also on Wednesday, the foremost university, in a statement signed by Prof Ogundipe himself, described the removal as untrue and a figment of the Registrar’s imagination.

The statement titled: ‘Re: Notice to the General Public on the Removal of the Vice Chancellor, University of Lagos by Oladejo Azeez, Esq,’ read: “The attention of the University of Lagos (Unilag) management has been drawn to the ‘Notice to the General Public on the Removal of the Vice Chancellor, University of Lagos’; dated August 12, 2020 and signed by Oladejo Azeez, Esq, Registrar and Secretary to Council, stating that the current Vice Chancellor, Professor Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe, FAS has been removed from office with immediate effect.
“This is untrue and a figment of his imagination. Therefore, stakeholders of Unilag and the general public are advised to disregard this mischievous disinformation about the sitting Vice Chancellor of Unilag, contained in that notice. Professor Ogundipe still remains Unilag’s Vice Chancellor.”
Thank you.
Signed
Professor Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe, FAS
Vice Chancellor, Unilag
