Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly have summoned the state Commissioner of Education, Yinka Oladunjoye; the management of the Lagos State University; and the Students Union Government over students’ protest.
The SUG of the university had embarked on a peaceful protest on Wednesday over the closure of the university’s portal by the authorities.
The alleged closure of the portal had deprived the students from registering for the second semester examination.
Hon. Wahab Alawiye-King, the Chairman, House Committee on Education, Science and Technology, brought the notice to the House at plenary on Thursday, under matter of urgent public importance.
Alawiye-King (APC-Lagos Island II), appealed to the school authority to reopen the portal for two days to enable the students register for the examination so as to halt the current crisis.
He said students were to commence the second semester examination two weeks after resumption, but without the necessary registration, no student could write the examination.
The issue generated a heated debate at the plenary, as the lawmakers saw the issue from different perspectives, which almost resulted in an open disagreement.
The Speaker, Hon. Adeyemi Ikuforiji, was compelled to call for a short adjournment to enable the legislators resolve the issue at a parliamentary session.
Ikuforiji, however, announced the decision of the lawmakers to invite the mentioned stakeholders to plenary, to brief the House.
