The University of Lagos (UNILAG) said it has approved the accelerated promotion of Mr Joshua Aye Onuh, a senior security officer of the school as a reward for honesty and efficiency.
Joshua’s promotion was approved by the governing council of the school during its sitting on Monday, January 16, 2023.
The security staff’s promotion was considered after exposing an operation to steal twenty-two thousand (22,000) litres of diesel from the University.
He was said to have “displayed a high sense of responsibility in discharging his duty on Monday, July 22, 2019,” when the incident happened, making the Senate Committee on the Alleged Theft of Diesel by some staff of the Works and Physical Planning Department to recommend his promotion.
“The Senate Committee found Mr. Onuh to have displayed a high sense of responsibility in discharging his duty on Monday, July 22, 2019. On that day, his eagle-eyed doggedness was instrumental to exposing an operation to steal twenty-two thousand (22,000) litres of diesel from the University.
“In recognition of his outstanding performance at his duty, the Governing Council approved the Accelerated Promotion of Mr. Joshua Aye Onuh from Senior Security Officer to Principal Security Officer.
“On behalf of the Governing Council, Senate, Management, Staff, and Students of the University of Lagos, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Folasade Ogunsola, FAS, congratulates Mr. Joshua Aye Onuh on his well-deserved elevation and wishes him more successes in life,” UNILAG said.
