UNILAG Issues Disclaimer: Avoid Unauthorized 'Glitz and Glam' Event

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has issued an official disclaimer warning the university community about an unauthorized event. Students and members of the public are advised to exercise caution.

The Unauthorized Event

UNILAG management has identified an event called “Glitz and Glam” being organized by an unrecognized entity known as the “Post Graduate Students’ Award.”

University’s Position

The university has made clear that:

1. The event is illegal - It has not received approval from the Dean of Student Affairs Division
2. The organizers are not recognized - The “Post Graduate Students’ Award” is not an authorized university organization
3. No university responsibility - UNILAG accepts no liability for any injuries, losses, or damages at this event

Why This Matters

Unauthorized events pose several risks:

• Safety concerns: No oversight means inadequate security arrangements
• Accountability issues: No official body to address grievances
• Potential fraud: Unverified organizers may collect money under false pretenses
• Academic consequences: Participation in unauthorized activities may have disciplinary implications

How to Verify Events

Before attending any event claiming university affiliation:

1. Check with the Dean of Student Affairs - Official events have documented approval
2. Verify organizers - Confirm the organizing body is recognized by the university
3. Look for official communication - Legitimate events are announced through official channels
4. Ask questions - If unsure, contact university administration

Key Takeaway

Students and community members should only participate in events officially sanctioned by UNILAG. When in doubt, verify with the Student Affairs Division before participating in or paying for any campus event.

This notice serves as a formal alert to protect the UNILAG community from potential harm associated with unauthorized activities.
