Fagbohun salutes NASU-LASU, receives Lifetime Achievement Award

Success Damian:

Professor Olarenwaju Adigun Fagbohun (SAN, NPOM), the Vice Chancellor of the Lagos State University (LASU) has saluted the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) of the institution for their unwavering cooperation with his administration.

Fagbohun who was also honoured with Lifetime Achievement Award by the union said his success as a Vice Chancellor of the institution was attributable to the steadfastness and determination by the group to ensure that peace reigned in the institution.

“One of the things that have sustained me till today is because NASU Members fully supported me. I have less than one year to go. If I continue to thank NASU everyday for the next one year, it won’t be sufficient,” Fagbohun said. 

Speaking further the Vice Chancellor said “I must thank you because some people did not want me to spend up to six months on this seat. But your support has not allowed them to succeed. Before now, once they raise a false alarm, everybody kowtows, but no more.”

He disclosed that their support has sustained him “This is what has sustained me. Every member of this University, devoid of religion, devoid of tribe has been supportive. All the previous members of the management and even the current ones have been loyal. They have supported me. I thank them.

“What you have said in LASU is that you will not support evil. When a management is acting right, you will support the management. For me as the 8th Vice Chancellor, anything that I know that will add value to you; I will always want to do it. Many of you have been good to me, and I will not forget you.”

Fagbohun pleaded with the group to accord same cooperation to whoever that is coming as next VC, “I plead, whoever is my successor, support them the way you have supported me. 

We have established a template for working together, they will follow the template.”

On his part, the Chairman of the Union, Comrade Sanni Ige Moruf, in his speech appreciated members of the Union and especially Management for the support he has received so far. 

"I am humbled by the mandate given me by our respected members to steer the affairs of this great union of ours. I also must appreciate the University Management for their sense of commitment to the yearnings of staff members in general, students and NASU-LASU members. We are proud of your management style and hope for better working relationship in the year 2020 and beyond,” Moruf stated.
