Students of the University of Lagos have
expressed excitement over the interlocutory injunction restraining the
Federal Government and the National Assembly from renaming their
institution to Moshood Abiola University of Lagos.
In a statement, the President of UNILAG
Press Club, Tosin Adesile, said that the students were satisfied with
the court ruling that directed that the name of UNILAG should be
retained pending the determination of the suit filed by the past
students of the institution. He said, “The student population on
receiving the court outcome went on jubilation and gave cheers to the
judiciary. Stage one has been won and we students hope the case will
favour us at the end of the day. Students will not in any way be happy
if Nigerian factor is introduced in this case to favour President
Goodluck Jonathan. This is a democratic nation and it is through such
process we can have true democracy and thereby show good example to
other countries in Africa.”
