Ambode Converts LASU To Residential Campus And Approves 70year Retirement Age For Profs

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State, Tuesday, signed a bill into law converting the Lagos State University, Ojo,LASU to a residential institution, as well as approving 70 years retirement age for professors of the institution.

The law, LASU (Amendment) Bill 2015, also approved a five-year single term for the Vice Chancellor of the institution. Over the last few years, there has been a running battle between the institution’s chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, with the immediate-past Vice Chancellor, Prof. John Obafunwa, over demands that the school approves 70 years as retirement age for professors, single term of five years for Vice Chancellor, among others. Signing the bill into law at the State House, Ikeja, Lagos on Tuesday, Ambode said the amended law is aimed at raising the standard of the school to an enviable position and a school that people would be proud of.

The governor said it is the desire of the state government to build a LASU that would produce better students, saying that in the next few days, changes would begin to take place in the school.

70 years is not cool at all. What that simply means is that old men will be up, reading and doing research just to be on top of their game in class when they should be relaxing their brain, body system and ageing gracefully. Shouldn't there be a better way to compensate them that having them go through stress all in the name of retiring at 70?
