The administration of the Federal University Lokoja (FUL), Kogi State has condemned the intrusion of the institution's permanent site at Felele, Lokoja by unknown people.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the university's spokesman, Daniel Nwankwo on Thursday.
According to the statement, the Vice-Chancellor of FUL, Prof. Olayemi Akinwumi, expressed the pursuit to sell portions of the university's land to individuals.
Akinwumi was also quoted to have said the management would no longer leave the encroachers to keep up the unacceptable endeavour on the property.
“It’s very saddening and worrisome that some new buildings are already at different levels of completion while other parcels of land have been allocated to unidentified individuals who are yet to commence work.
“Owners of such projects should not make any further efforts at completing them as legal actions will be enforced to reclaim all landed property belonging to the Institutions.
“It’s very unfortunate that some unscrupulous elements are bent on making merchandise of the University’s landed property at the Felele Campus.
“We are appalled by the level of unpatriotic activities of some people who should be partners-in-progress with the Institution,” Nwankwo said.
The VC was also said to have requested the support of traditional leaders, warning farmers against performing activities on the said property.
“Consequently, the V-C ordered farmers to stop unauthorized farming activities on the university’s land with immediate effect.
“He has also given ample time to farmers who already have their crops on the land to harvest their produce and never to farm again”, he said.
