UNILAG postpones resumption to March 21 over guber polls

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has postponed the resumption of academic activities from March 14 to March 21, 2023.

This was contained in a statement issued on Friday by the UNILAG Head, Communication Unit, Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem.

The Federal Government had ordered the closure of higher institutions across the country over the 2023 general election.

Alaga-Ibraheem stated that the shift in resumption date was due to the re-scheduling of the governorship and Houses of Assembly elections from March 11 to March 18 by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
