President Muhammadu Buhari on
Thursday approved a television licence for the University of Lagos (UNILAG TV).
This was disclosed after a
meeting with the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi
Adesina, and the Senior Special Assistant, Garba Shehu, at the Presidential
Villa.
Vice Chancellor of the
university, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, said the approval of the TV station was
a confirmation of the president’s position on promoting free press and
unhindered access to information.
Ogundipe said the TV station
would enhance research-oriented education and ease communication within and
outside the university campus.
“It is now on record that the
present administration signed the first campus TV licence and we remain deeply
grateful to the president.
“The university is a brand. We
want the university to be the research hub in Africa, and we are working
towards being among the best three in the entire continent,’’ he said.
Adesina, while congratulating the
vice chancellor on the new development, said President Buhari was fully
committed to improving the standard of education in the country.
