University of Lagos Governing Council, led by the interim chairman, Dr John Momoh, has confirmed Prof. Folasade Ogunsola as the acting Vice-Chancellor of the institution.

The approval of Ogunsola’s nomination was given by the Governing Council at a virtual meeting on Tuesday while the inauguration of the visitor’s panel will hold in Abuja on Wednesday.

Recall that the Federal Government had, last week, asked UNILAG Senate to meet up again and nominate an acting VC as a result of the crisis between the varsity’s Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Council, Wale Babalakin, and Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe.

The FG also asked Babalakin and Ogundipe to recuse themselves from official duties, pending the result of the Special Visitation Panel set up by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

Ogunsola has broken UNILAG’s 58-year record with her emergence as she is the first female to be appointed as an acting VC of the institution since it was founded in 1962.
