The authorities of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), have shut down the staff club in its main campus in Akoka, Lagos following the death of two of its professors.
The directive to shut down the club was given by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, on Thursday.

The Head of the Media Unit of the university, Mrs Olufadeke Akinleye, said the development was a precautionary measure.
Recall that a former VC of the university, Prof. Oyewusi Ibidapo-Obe and former Dean of Students Affairs, Prof. Duro Ajeyalemi, died within 72 hours to each other as a result of complications from coronavirus.

Both reportedly attended a wedding party a few weeks ago in Ikoyi, Lagos, where Ibidapo-Obe was said to be the chairman while Ajeyalemi, a bosom friend of his, also played a prominent role.
The duo were also members of Ijesa Society and it was gathered that some of their friends also attended the party.
It was learnt that two other professors are on admission at the Intensive Care Unit of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital Idi-Araba, but it is not yet clear if the two professors lecture at UNILAG.
Some of their colleagues from the university also reportedly attended the party.
The university said it shut down the staff club to reduce social contact on campus.
