LASU VC Bid Sparks Outcry as Prof Questions Vague Selection Criteria
A fresh controversy has erupted over the Lagos State University vice-chancellor advert. Prof Olatunji Abanikannda claims some criteria were drafted to favour a preferred candidate and shut out others. He criticises vague terms like “several” in eligibility rules and the insistence on delivered inaugural lectures. He argues such imprecise language replaces clear numerical benchmarks used in past recruitments and questions whether inaugural lectures should be mandatory. The professor also challenges the health certification requirement and flags risks of politicisation in the process. He urges university authorities and stakeholders to revise the advert for fairness and transparency to avoid disputes and protect the institution’s legacy.
