The Governing Council of the University of Lagos, led by the interim chairman, Dr John Momoh, has confirmed Prof. Folasade Ogunsola as the acting Vice-Chancellor of the institution.
It was gathered that the Governing Council approved her nomination at a virtual meeting on Tuesday.
The inauguration of the visitor’s panel will hold in Abuja on Wednesday.
Ogunsola had emerged the acting VC of the institution at the emergency Senate meeting on Monday.
The Federal Government had, last week, asked UNILAG Senate to reconvene and nominate an acting VC following the crisis between the varsity’s Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Council, Wale Babalakin, and Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe.
The FG also asked Babalakin and Ogundipe to recuse themselves from official duties, pending the outcome of the Special Visitation Panel set up by the President Muhammadu Buhari.
With her emergence, Ogunsola broke UNILAG’s 58-year record by becoming the first female to be appointed as an acting VC of the institution since it was founded in 1962.
