The Senate of the University of Lagos has raised a three-man panel, all professors, to Abuja, with a letter on the position of the Senate on the crisis rocking the institution.
Three copies of the letter, with a mandate to be personally delivered, were also dispatched with the panel, one for President Muhammadu Buhari, Visitor to the university, one for the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu and the third for the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC).
This is happening as the Governing Council says more top officials of the university are said to be investigated for alleged financial recklessness and mismanagement which consumed the institution’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Oluwatoyin Ogundipe on Wednesday.

The Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Council, Dr Wale Babalakin (SAN), told journalists in Lagos that others indicted for corruption in the institution would soon be served the comeuppance of their actions.
The Council on Thursday named Professor Theophilus Soyombo as the acting Vice-Chancellor of the institution while workers and unions of the varsity conducted a solidarity rally alongside Ogundipe on the campus, with the sacked leader, claiming to still be in charge.
