The vice chancellor of Unilag, Prof. Folasade Ogunsola, who was represented by deputy vice-chancellor (Academics & Research) of the University, Prof. Bola Oboh-Oboh during the donation ceremony at the school premises, commended the management of Vitafoam Nigeria for consistently showing commitment to assist the University.
