The panel, in its report submitted to President Muhammadu Buhari, said the University of Lagos Act 1962 as amended in 1967 and University’s 2012 provides for the position of the University Governing Council with the general control and superintendence of policy, finance and property of the university and its public relations.
Recall that the minister of education, Malam Adamu Adamu had, on 29 March 2021, transmitted the approval of the President Buhari, of the appointment of seven-man team headed by Gen. Martin Luther Agwai to review the performance of the institution and make recommendation using specific Terms of Reference and covering the period, 2016-2020.
According to the report, “The council as per the subsisting Act of the University of Lagos Act 1967 is the governing body charged with the general control and superintendence of policy, finance and property of the university and its public relations. It also has the duty inter alia to appoint all members of academic staff, the registrar, bursar and librarian on the recommendation of the Appointment and Promotion Committee.
Similarly, in its findings, the panel lamented that only 37% of the academic staff of the university has Ph.D. degree, which fell short of NUC minimum requirement of 70%, while calling on the federal government to ease the cumbersome processes on the recruitment of staff to enable the university employ more academic staff with Ph.D. degrees.
“The internal and external quality assurance mechanisms, along with the University of Lagos policies on staff development with reference to adequacy of staff and staff development programmes in the 12 faculties, colleges and institutes were found to be remarkable,” the panel said.
