The management of University of Lagos (UniLag) now Moshood Abiola University has introduced a new badge with the words 'UniLag Forever' inscribed on it.
This was done in a bid to disregard the renaming of the institution on May 29, 2012 by President Goodluck Jonathan.
The badge was shared to students and members of staff at a news conference held by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Monday.
The chairman of the UniLag branch of ASUU, Dr Oghenekaro Ogbinaka said that introduction of the badge was one of the steps being taken by the union to kick against the renaming of the university. He revealed that more plans were on the way to further drive home their point.
It will be recalled that the president submitted a bill to the House of Representatives after the May 29 announcement seeking the renaming of the University of Lagos alongside two other universities which passed first and second reading.
The change of name from University of Lagos to Moshood Abiola University sparked series of protests from students and alumni of the institution who kicked against the renaming.
Majority of students who shared their thoughts on the renaming, refused to accept the change saying that they were admitted into University of Lagos and not Moshood Abiola University.
