NATIONAL: UNILAG fixes Jan 25 for resumption

THE University of Lagos, UNILAG, has announced January 25 as the resumption date for academic activities in the institution.

The Head of the Media Unit of the university, Olufadeke Akinleye, on Wednesday, said the institution would commence online classes on the announced date.

Meanwhile, following the suspension of the strike action of Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, the University of Lagos has released its official calendar for 2019/2020 academic session.
