Universities (ASUU), has threatened to sue the Minister of
Education, Professor Ruqayyatu Rufai for addressing the institution as
Moshood Abiola University (MAULAG) at public functions.
Chairman of the union, Dr Karo Ogbinaka who issued the threat at a
news conference in Port Harcourt yesterday, said the union is set to
go to court on the issue.
"We have been watching the minister at public functions, addressing
UNILAG as MAULAG, despite a court order that the name UNILAG should
remain, pending proper legislation on the amendment bill that sets up
the institution at the National Assembly and, of course, the
consideration of the university's community," he noted.
According to him, the minister had addressed UNILAG as MAULAG at a
stakeholders' meeting in Abuja, but was cautioned but she had refused
to desist from this anomaly. "We are seriously watching her to address
UNILAG as MAULAG again, after which we would sue her for contempt of
court," Ogbinaka said.(nationalmirror)
