The name change of the University of Lagos, UNILAG to Moshood Abiola University Lagos, MAULAG which has been generating alot of controversy around the university and beyond has gotten a huge support.
.
The support is from the former military head of state, General Yakubu Gowon who was at the university for the 2012/2013 session convocation ceremonies.
.
Gen. Gowon assured the students that nobody can change the name of the institution as the name will remain UNILAG.
.
He also used the opportunity to advise the graduates to start something for themselves no matter how small as the situation in the country is not conducive for a graduate to remain idle after graduation.
.
It will be recalled that the UNILAG to MAULAG name change attracted criticism and litigation from many stakeholders before a court declared the President's action as an illegality.
.
The university's Chairman, Governing Council, Prof. Jerry Gana, during his inauguration in 2013, also said that the President had reversed the name change.
.
Goodnews for UNILAG students.
