Concerned sons and daughters of Ikoga-Zebbe Kingdom in Badagry Local Council of Lagos State have called on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to ensure unconditional reinstatement of their son, Dr Tony Dansu, and four other Lagos State University (LASU) and Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) officials wrongfully and illegally dismissed from the services of the university in 2017 and 2019.
These officers are Dr Isaac Akinloye Oyewumi (Chairman), Dr Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu (Vice Chairman), Dr Anthony Dansu (Secretary), Dr Adeolu Oluwaseyi Oyekan (Assistant Secretary) and Dr Oluwakemi Adebisi Aboderin-Shonibare (Treasurer).

To ensure justice and fairness in the case, they appealed that Mr. Governor should lift the embargo his government placed on the implementation of the decision of the LASU Governing Council on February 23, 2022.

They also urged him to ensure that all accrued financial entitlements and benefits paid to them; and promotions merited given without loss of seniority and entitlements.

According to them, nothing short of this will serve the purpose of justice, fairness and balance in the resolution of the present issue.
“We also insist that this issue be resolved, compared with how more serious and criminal ones within LASU have been resolved by powers that be. It is a significant barometer for measuring the extent to which the authorities regard us and our interest as stakeholders in Lagos State.

“We have not asked for anything out of the ordinary. We are only insisting on parity in treatment, especially based on our conviction that the issues involving our brother arose out of his commitment to the protection of the values of our dear State, which makes justice the precursor of progress, within LASU. This victimisation is enough!” The people said.

Their statement was signed by James Babatunde Avoseh, Dr Mayowa John Adejobi, Tinka, Gigonou Gabriel, Ademola Akoteyon Bokoh, Francis Pedepo Avoseh, and Medemaku Abayomi Noah, for concerned sons and daughters of Ikoga-Zebbe.

They recalled that as a follow up to the peaceful rally, the group made up of indigenous Lagosians, consolidated their efforts by consultations, lobbying and reaching out to many stakeholders.
