Despite initial skirmishes around the different locations in the state that resulted in the scarcity of public transport, students of the Lagos State University (LASU), on Friday, successfully took their examinations under a calm atmosphere in the university’s main campus, Ojo, Lagos.

When the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics), Prof. Olufunsho  Omobitan, and Dean, Students’ Affairs Division, Prof. Tajudeen Olumoko, as well as members of the Centre for Information and Public Relations went around faculties to monitor the exercise, it was apparent that not only did the students write their examination under a calm atmosphere, no student missed his/her examination as was feared in some quarters. 

At the faculties visited to monitor the examinations, which included Social Sciences, Management Sciences, Education, Science, Arts, and Law, the deans/examination coordinators said that 100 per cent of students who registered for the examinations took part in the exercise. 

“Even those who arrived late were allowed to write the examinations,” said one of the department heads were invigilating. 

The examination continued yesterday (Monday), until Thursday, February 23, when students are expected to go on an examination break to allow them to exercise their franchise in the upcoming general election.
