The immediate past Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, has revealed that no fewer than 239 first-class graduates employed as lecturers left the institution within seven years.
According to Ogundipe, UNILAG had retained 256 first-class graduates as lecturers between 2015 and 2022, but by October 2023, only 17 remained in the institution’s employ.
“At UNILAG, we decided that those with first-class honours should be employed. What is remaining is not up to 10 per cent. All of them have gone.
