Unspecified number of students of the University of Lagos, UNILAG, were injured on Tuesday while rushing to enter examination halls to write the GST examination for the first semester in the 2023/2024 academic session.
The stampede resulted from attempts by students to enter the halls that were not big enough to accommodate all of them at the same time.
It was gathered that some students arrived the campus as early as 7am, but were not called to write their papers until 6pm, leading to the students struggling to gain entry by all means.
The injured students were rushed to the University clinic.
Meanwhile, the management of the institution has suspended the conduct of the exam.
In a statement by the Head, Communication Unit, Alhaja Alaga Ajoke Ibrahim, the management said the decision followed a review of the issues that have affected the conduct of the examination.
"This suspension followed a review of the various issues that have affected the conduct of the examination in the last two days.
Please note that all inconveniences caused by this suspension are deeply regretted, and a new date/schedule for the GST examination will be shared appropriately. Thank you, " the statement read.
