The University of
Lagos (UNILAG) has finally reacted to a recent post by Rema on the ongoing
strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
In a tweet on Monday, the ‘Calm Down’ crooner lamented that he
has not resumed school since he got admission to study ‘Creative Arts’ at UNILAG because of the
industrial action by ASUU.
He also appealed to the union to suspend its strike.
In its response to the tweet, Bowen University in Iwo, Osun had urged the ‘Bounce’ singer to consider enrolling in its institution to avoid being delayed by ASUU.
“ASUU can’t delay you
if you’re enrolled in Bowen University,” the varsity had written.
In his response, Rema had called the attention of UNILAG to
Bowen’s tweet while also expressing his excitement at the Osun-based varsity’s
gesture.
“UNILAG private university don dey toast me o, I’m blushing
omg stop it,” the singer had replied in pidgin English.
Reacting to the Twitter conversation on Tuesday, UNILAG
asked Rema not to allow anyone to change his mind.
The varsity also accompanied the post with a clip from ‘Jo’,
a track off ‘Rave And Roses’, Rema’s latest album.
“Hmm… Rema dear, UNILAG has chosen you o, Hmm… so don’t let
anybody come dey change your mind o…Rema no dey vex for us o,” the tweet read.

ASUU had on February 14 declared a one-month warning strike
to protest the non-implementation of its demands by the federal government.
But on March 14, the union extended the industrial action by eight weeks, citing the government’s failure to fully address its demands.
