The residents carried placards with such inscriptions as: “Dear Governor Sanwo-Olu, please correct this injustice. #RestoreDrDansu”, “Reinstate Dr Tony Dansu and others”, “Let justice prevail; Dr Tony Dansu’s integrity and service deserve commendation, not dismissal”, “Dear Governor Sanwo-Olu, reinstate academic freedom”, and “Dear people’s governor, show Lagos is committed to fairness”.

It’s essential to acknowledge that news production incurs expenses, and we take pride in never placing our stories behind a prohibitive paywall.But in a strange move, 48 hours after the governing council approved its appeal committee’s recommendation, the same governing council ruled to put the recall of the lecturers on hold.

“Given that the issue was not due for judicial review since no damage had been done yet; even as the court was mindful of the breach of constitutional rights of the officers by the university authority, the two parties should go and follow the path of the law for the sake of peace, order and good administration in the university and its community.”

“We want Governor Sanwo-Olu to reinstate the five lecturers to the university so that the current students of the institution could benefit from their expertise, which I and some others had benefited from in the past. LASU community misses them ,” he said.
