NEW LASU VC, OLATUNJI-BELLO TO RESUME SEPTEMBER

Following her appointment as the ninth substantive vice-chancellor of the Lagos State University (LASU), Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello is expected to assume duty on Wednesday, September 22. The date coincides with the end of the one-month extension of tenure granted Acting Vice-chancellor Oyedamola Oke on August 21. Mr Oke, who was before his current position a deputy vice-chancellor in charge of administration, was elected acting VC by the university’s Senate on January 11. He filled the vacuum created by the exit of the university’s eighth substantive vice-chancellor, Olanrewaju Fagbohun, whose tenure expired.
