In a surprising turn of events, the academic gowns designated for distribution to post-graduate students at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) were reported stolen after a bus transporting them was vandalized.
This incident comes amidst preparations for the university’s 54th convocation ceremony, where 340 graduands are set to receive first-class degree certificates.
Graduates had previously been required to pay N15,000 for the collection of these gowns. However, frustration arose among many students who, after a considerable wait, found the school unable to provide the academic attire.
In a brief communication via text message and email, the management of the university’s School of Post-Graduate Studies (SPGS) informed post-graduate students, stating, “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 vandalized this afternoon.”
