For the past few years, some UNILAG students have been carried away by the ferrocious waves of the Lagos coast in their bid to relax and catch fun with friends.
Despite this, beach outings remain a popular event amongst students of UNILAG.
May her soul rest in peace and to others, take heed!

ReplyDeleteAs a member of the committee managing Elegushi beach, i must state the facts..
ReplyDeleteStudents of unilag (medical school) came to the beach in company of some lecturers last week friday. At around 7.30 - 8 o clock in the evening, some of the students went to play along the shoreline in the dark. Only the people present know what happened.
We the staff of elegushi beach, acted swiftly the moment we heard students shouting.
By the time we got to the beach front we could not do anything because there was zero visibility.
We waited all night hoping her body will show up, which it did the next day on saturday around 3.30 and her lecturers where contacted.
It is general knowledge,a policy and a standard practice that once its 7 oclock everyone is asked to vacate the shoreline.
This was an unfortunate sad event and we mourn with the Abiola family.
The issue of unilag students drowning at elegushi beach is totally false, till date this is the second incident of a unilag student drowning at the beach. The efforts made by the staff of the beach on both ocassion has been commended by different security authorities.
Issues of Security is not taken lightly and is of uptmost importance to Elegushi beach beacause it is what she prides herself on.
Elegushi beach is a hub of entertainment for all youths and top of our clientele are all under grads of various institutions in the country.
I hope this issue would be laid to rest in respect of the departed.
May the lord forgive her sins and welcome her into paradise..
may her soul rwest in peace
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmm. May her soul rest in peace
ReplyDeleteMr Bakare, thank you so much for your timely and measured response. Please step up and ensure there is no compromise again where security and safety is concerned. Your coast guards must be firm at all times. Safety measures when compromised leads to bad consequences. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, @ Mr Bakare, I have questions for you,... pls are you aware that people are subjected to pay certain amount of money before they can gain entrance to beach shore,can you pls tell us why and for what purpose people must pay when you can't provide adequate safety equipment, life guards personnel,
ReplyDeleteMr Bakare, why would you subject people to pay gate fees at the beach when you cant provide use part of the money for adequate measures, no life guards personnel..
