UNILAG Prohibits Unauthorized Skitmaking and Content Creation on Campus

The University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka, has officially banned the unauthorized use of its campus facilities, including hostels and academic spaces, for skitmaking, filmmaking, and other forms of content creation.

This directive was announced in a statement released on Thursday, October 28, 2025, and signed by Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem, the Head of Communication at the university.

UNILAG expressed growing concern over the increasing trend of individuals, both students and outsiders, using the university’s premises to shoot skits, vox pops, and cinematographic content without prior approval.

According to the statement, such activities have raised alarms about the potential misrepresentation of the institution’s image and the disruption of its academic environment.

To address this, the university emphasized that it has established formal procedures for recording or producing content on campus.

These procedures are designed to uphold safety, maintain decorum, and preserve the integrity of both academic and residential spaces.

The statement made it clear that any individual, whether a student, staff member, or external collaborator, must obtain official authorization from the university’s communications unit before engaging in any filming activities.

UNILAG’s management urged all members of the university community and the general public to comply strictly with this directive.

The move is framed as a measure to ensure order, safety, and collective responsibility within the institution.
