LASU: Dean call for arrest of shuttle buses operating outside campus

"We are alerting the relevant authorities including the Vehicle
Inspection Officers (VIO), LASTMA and the Federal Road Safety
Commission (FRSC). Also, the Nigeria Police should take note of the
new development."


The Lagos State University » acting Dean of Students Affairs Division,
Dr Oluwafemi Obayori, has called for the arrest of commercial buses
operating outside the campus in its colour and logo.
Obayori said it was obvious that the buses were hiding under the
school's image to perpetrate illegality, such as evasion of levies and
non-renewal of vehicle licence. He also noted that the drivers are not
licensed.
While speaking to reporters yesterday, Obayori said the LASU Students
Union's branded buses had neither official nor unofficial connection
with the university.


He added that the student union constitution does not provide for the
operation of commercial buses outside the campus.


The don said the MoU, under the supervision of the university
management, would require the operators to register with the Students
Union and pay N1,000 monthly.
