Some students of the Lagos State University (LASU) have kicked against the decision of the institution not to shut its activities for three weeks as directed by the federal government.
Adamu Adamu, minister of education, had earlier ordered vice-chancellors of varsities across the country to stop academic activities from February 22 to March 14.
The minister said the directive is to allow students participate in the forthcoming elections.
