The authority of Lagos State University has postponed the rain semester of the university and closed the institution indefinitely.
During the protest, the car of the Vice-Chancellor of the University, Prof. John Obafunwa was stoned and he was reportedly rushed out of the faculty of sciences.
This was contained in an official bulletin posted on the school premises.
The closure was as a result of a violent protest by about 1,292 students of LASU, who were not allowed to register for the rain semester examination of the university.
The bulletin read, “In the view of the violent protest by some affected students of LASU over the closure of the university portal for registration of courses for rain semester 2012/2013 examination, the university management has decided to shut down the university indefinitely.
“Also, examination have been put off till further notice. With this decision, students of the university are expected to vacate the university premises until further notice.”
