Jonathan had in a nationwide broadcast renamed the University of Lagos as Moshood Abiola University in honour of the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, the late Chief MKO Abiola.
Students marched out of their hostels and gathered at the Yabatech junction from where they moved round the school chanting protests songs denouncing the name change of the school.
Vanguard gathered that the students were carrying placcards with inscriptions: Reverse or Resign, UNILAG cant be called MAU! etc.
The students blocked all access roads to the school causing heavy traffic on the University of Lagos Road as well as St. Finbarrs’ College Road.
