The Lagos State governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Tuesday, inaugurated a 10-member Visitation Panel for the Lagos State University (LASU) Ojo with a view to looking into the activities of the university for the past 12 years and recommend for improved service delivery. The swearing-in event took place at the Lagos House, Marina. Sanwo-Olu is a visitor to the university. The former Vice-Chancellor of University of Lagos (UNILAG) Akoka, Prof Rahaman Bello is the Chairman of the panel, and the Director of Inspection in the Monitoring Department in the Office of Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Mrs Yemisi Omoloye, is the Secretary while Prof Dipo Kolawole, Prof. Ebunoluwa Adejuyigbe, Prof. Joseph Ajienka, Mr Ayorinde Ogunruku, Mr Lawal Pedro, Mr Ibrahim Aponmade, Mr. Akinwale Ayodeji, and Mr Kalejaiye Adeboye, as other members. The Head of Public Affairs Unit in the Office of Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Mr Adesoye Oyelami confirmed the inauguration and composition of the panel to Nigerian Tribune, saying the office at that moment was "working on the official statement" to that effect but yet to send it till the of filling the report. However, the Special Adviser on Education to the Governor, Mr Tokunbo Wahab, whose office oversees tertiary institutions owned by the state government had told newsmen that the governor would soon send a visitation panel to LASU and the exercise is not to witch-hunt anyone but to improve service delivery. Reacting to his appointment, the former UNILAG Vice-Chancellor, Prof Rahaman Bello, in an interview said sending visitation panels by visitors either to federal or state universities is a normal thing in the university system. He said the exercise was part of quality controls and he believed this development would help LASU to move to the next level. He said though the assignment covers 12 years instead of five- years normal schedule for the visitation panel, it is a way forward for LASU to start sending visitation panels by the visitor to the university five years interval. "So, it is an assignment that has to be done," he stressed.
