The governing council of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) has appointed Prof Omololu Soyombo as acting vice-chancellor.

This was announced in a statement issued by the university’s registrar, Oladejo Azeez.

Okay.ng recalls that Oluwatoyin Ogundipe had earlier in a statement dismissed a notice by the governing council saying that he remains the university’s vice-chancellor.

In a counter statement on Thursday, Azeez said that Ogundipe was “lawfully removed”.
