The authorities of the Lagos State University has put off indefinitely its scheduled 24th convocation over growing coronavirus cases in Nigeria.

Prior to the postponement, the convocation was scheduled for March 20 to 27. Also, the Lagos State government on Wednesday ordered for the closure of all schools by 23rd March, 2020 and restricted religious gatherings to not more than 50 persons.

According to a statement from the university, on Thursday, “The postponement is as a result of the prevailing health threats occasioned by Coronavirus pandemic and the resolution of the Federal and State Governments to discourage the gathering of people in public places at this point.

“The management regrets every inconvenience this postponement might cause to all our graduating students, awardees, family, friends and other stakeholders of the University.

“Further information on the 24th Convocation Ceremonies will be made available in due course.”
