A decision announced earlier today by President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria to rename one of Nigeria's most prestigious universities after deceased politician, Moshood Kashimawo Abiola has backfired as students on the institution engaged in mass protests in Lagos to resist the name change.
The students shut down the school’s entrance gate, preventing vehicles from entering the campus as they gather in numbers to march on campus protesting the change of the institution’s name from University in Lagos, University of Lagos [UNILAG] to Moshood Abiola University of Lagos [MAU]
By the early morning Democracy Day broadcast by President Goodluck Jonathan today, University of Lagos popularly known as [UNILAG] will now change to Moshood Abiola University of Lagos [MAU].
