The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has said that academic activities will not resume until March 21 contrary to its earlier plan to begin on March 14.
Head of the university’s communication unit, Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem, made this known in a statement on Friday.
The Federal Government had directed that students of higher institutions across the country should vacate their schools ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The UNILAG spokesperson said the shift in resumption date was due to the re-scheduling of the governorship and House of Assembly elections from March 11 to March 18 by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
