Academic gowns of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) post-graduate scheduled for distribution to the graduating students, have been reportedly stolen after a bus conveying it was vandalized.
The institution’s 54th convocation ceremony is holding this week with a total of 340 graduands to be awarded first-class degree certificates.
According to PM News, many of the students, who were scheduled to collect their academic gowns, expressed frustration in the inability of the school to provide the gowns after a long wait.
The management of the university School of Post-Graduate Studies (SPGS) in a terse text message and mail sent to post-graduate students said: “Dear graduate, we regret to inform you that the distribution of SPGS academic gowns is now suspended.
“Sadly, the remaining gowns were stolen, and our bus vandalised this afternoon.” – PMN
