*Heavy security around Senate Building

Against all expectations, the Acting Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Professor The­ophilus Soyombo, on Monday, was missing from the Senate Building, the administrative office in the institution.

Recall that Prof. Soyom­bo was last Thursday, via a notice signed by Azeez Oladejo, the Registrar and Secretary to Governing Council, announced as the Acting Vice-Chancellor of the 58-year-old university.

Earlier, Professor Olu­watoyin Ogundipe, the VC, was removed from office in a controversial circumstance that had pitched staff unions, alumni association, Commit­tee of Vice-Chancellors and members of the University Senate against the Dr. Wale Babalakin (SAN)-led Govern­ing Council.

However, five days after his appointment in an act­ing capacity, Prof. Soyom­bo of the Faculty of Social Sciences had remained in his office as a source said he could work from any part of the campus.

At the basement of the Sen­ate building, plain clothes se­curity men were seen around the premises as they prevent­ed newsmen from gaining access to the information de­partment on the 7th floor.

Efforts by our correspondent for an interview with Acting Vice-Chancellor in his office in the Faculty of Science failed as Phillips Odu­tola, who identified himself as his assistant, said he was busy.
