The management of University of Lagos (UNILAG), Lagos State has claimed that the school bus was vandalised by some unknown miscreants who stole gowns meant for its graduates for the 54 convocation ceremony.
According to reports by SaharaReporters, the university’s 54th convocation ceremony is slated for Tuesday, January 16, 2024 and the graduates were mandated to pay the sum of N15,000 for the collection of the gowns.
However, it was gathered that some graduates who paid the money received a notice from the school management that the collection of the gowns had been suspended because of the vandalisation by the unknown hoodlums.
“We regret to inform you that the distribution of SPGS academic gowns is now suspended. Sadly, the remaining gowns were stolen and our bus vandalised this afternoon,” the university’s email to one of the graduates.
A lawyer, Malachy Odo, also said he received the same notice from the school via test messages after he had paid the levy meant for the collection of the gown.
“I paid 15k for convocation gown yesterday and this is what UNILAG just sent me. This country is not a real place,” he wrote on X.
