A decision broadcast today by President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria to rename one among Nigeria's most prestigious universities to the name of once deceased politician, Moshood Kashimawo Abiola has backfired as students on the establishment engaged in mass protests in Lagos to resist the name amendment.

The students closed up the school’s entrance gate, preventing vehicles from getting into the campus as they gather in numbers to match on campus protesting the amendment of the institution’s name from University in Lagos, University of Lagos [UNILAG] to Moshood Abiola University of Lagos [MAU]

By the first morning Democracy Day broadcast by President Goodluck Jonathan today, University of Lagos popularly called [UNILAG] can currently amendment to Moshood Abiola University of Lagos [MAU].

We will update you as soon as we get more information regarding this protest.
