I was told this issue was resolved. What is happeneing ULSU? Ochuba just asking!!

"Some 100-level medical students at the University of Lagos
have urged a Federal High Court in Lagos to quash the
decision of the university’s Senate, which allegedly changed
the academic requirement needed by them to proceed to 200-level.

The students, numbering about 31, claimed that the decision
taken by the university’s Senate on January 27 was “an attempt
to weed them out of the university.”

Already, the case has been assigned to Justice Sule Hassan,
who has fixed hearing for Tuesday (today).

The students accused the university of raising the academic
requirement in order to accommodate diploma students, who
allegedly paid N500,000 to the institution’s College of
Medicine.

The aggrieved students, through their lawyer, Mr. Jiti Ogunye,
therefore, urged the court to declare the Senate decision as a
nullity.

They, among others, also sought an order of certiorari
“removing and reviewing the decision.”

The students explained that they were admitted to the
university in the 2014/2015 academic year to studyMedicine
and Surgery, Dentistry, Medical Laboratory Science, Nursing,
Physiotherapy, Pharmacology, Physiology and Radiography.

According to them, their admission followed their successful
performance in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
and the post-UTME set by the university.

They claimed that upon being admitted to the university, the
academic requirements they needed to proceed to the second
year were clearly stated in the Faculty of Science pre-Medical
and Pharmacy Programmes 2014-2016 Information Handbook
made available to them.

They added, “The said revision was not carried out with noble
and genuine intentions to enhance academic standards in the
MBBS and other medical programmes in the College of
Medicine.

“It was also not for the reason of adherence to the admission
quota of either the National Universities Commission or of the
Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria for the MBBS in the
College of Medicine, (which is 150 for the College of
Medicine).

“It was for the purpose of creating admission spaces for
foundational course students who are given (or more
appropriately sold) admission into the MBBS and other
medical programmes upon participating in a one-year
programme organised by a Joint Unified Preliminary
Examination Board for which they paid to the university a
minimum total fee of N400,000 per session.

“The said payment is part of the internally generated revenue
of the university, a stream of revenue which has attracted wide
criticism in the university system in Nigeria, for lack of
transparency and accountability in its management.”
