The Lagos State government has cleared 17 out of the 19 PhD certificates withdrawn by the management of Lagos State University.
Mr Fatai Olukoga, Special Adviser to the governor on Education, made the disclosure, saying that the certificates were cleared after due process.
Olukoga explained that 19 lecturers were alleged to have obtained fake PhD certificates.
He said that the remaining two lecturers failed to appear for clearance because they are members of the Academic Staff Union and their certificates still remained withheld.
He blamed the management, Academic Staff Union and Students Union Government of the institution for the continuous closure of the institution.
“I cannot see a reason why students will fight because there is no light on their campus, do they have light in their homes?
Olukoga said the union members should be very careful, adding that it was only in Nigeria that union dictates and have their way in everything.
He added that the government had paid N209 million as a refund to students on hike in tuition fees.
The adviser said that the management of the institution did not have records for the remaining balance. (NAN)
