Meet Tokunbo Wahab, The Man Who “Helped” LASU Students Escape ASUU Strike
Meet Tokunbo Wahab, The Man Who “Helped” LASU Students Escape ASUU Strike
Whose proactiveness is getting the administration of Babajide Sanwo-Olu accolades
Lagos State University (LASU) is not part of the prolonged strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The action embarked on by ASUU since February 2022 has shut down other higher institutions of learning while LASU remains unaffected.
The man whose proactiveness is getting the administration of Babajide Sanwo-Olu accolades over this feat in the education sector.
He is the man simply known in the power circle of Lagos State as “TW”, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Education whose full name is Tokunbo Wahab.
Tokunbo Wahab with the confidence reposed by Sanwo-Olu and the backing of the Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folashade Adefisayo did a detailed needs assessment of the Lagos State University on the assumption of office in 2019.
Inside information has it that armed with the findings, the Special Adviser that Governor Sanwo-Olu confirmed as one of the major players in his administration sat down with the management and unions in Lasu to iron out issues and create a transparent system that enabled him to get “approval to increase the monthly subvention of LASU by 40%, Implement of their minimum wage and pay the backlog of salary and other earnings to that enjoyed by the mainstream civil service”
“The issue EA (Earned Allowance) was ironed out and commitment to agreements reached sustained since then”.
Added revelation has it that it helped in no small measures that Wahab an Alumnus of the prestigious Harvard Kennedy School of Government and former president of the Law Students Union of the University of Benin took a hard stance on blocking all revenue leakages in the system while he continues to spearhead ramping up the investment in the human and capital Infrastructure at the higher institution of learning owned and funded by the Lagos Government.
It was gathered that a slight increase in the school fees was thrown into the bargain that has helped undergraduates of the LASU escape the agony of the continuing strike by ASUU that has kept students of other public universities at “home” for over five months.
All the concerns the move championed by Wahab addressed at LASU are at the heart of the faceoff between ASUU and the Federal Government and the attendant ongoing strike action.
“That is why LASU did not join the strike action, the management and the unions are unaffected by the issues at stake”.
A Partner at Wall and Ace – after earning his legal stripes at Paul Usoro (SAN) & Co and Aluko & Oyebode ( before he was appointed Special Adviser on Education to Sanwo-Olu), Wahab is identified as very passionate about Lagos and all that has to do with it.
From Epe, Lagos State, the Senior Special Adviser that clocked 50 in May 2022 is the son of two influential community and political leaders.
His father, Dodo – Prince Olugbenga Wahab of the Otuwunmi Ateshinmara Royal Dynasty- was a well known political leader in Epe while his mother Muyi Wahab – (Nee Sosanya Aberuagba) was a dogged women leader and grassroots mobilizer in Epe and Sagamu (Ogun State).
COAS Launches Nationwide Security Renewal Mission in Plateau
The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, on Thursday led a high-level delegation of security chiefs to Plateau State, flagging off a nationwide security renewal mission aimed at strengthening civil-military cooperation and restoring lasting peace across the country.
The visit to Jos, the Plateau State capital, marks the first phase of a coordinated national effort to address persistent security challenges through joint operations, community engagement, and proactive intelligence gathering.
Governor Caleb Muftwang received the delegation, describing the initiative as a critical step toward stabilizing affected communities and reinforcing public confidence in security institutions.
Civil-Military Synergy Takes Centre Stage
At the heart of the mission is a renewed emphasis on collaboration between the military, civil authorities, and local communities. Speaking during the visit, Lt. Gen. Shaibu stressed that national security must be treated as a collective responsibility.
He urged citizens to support security agencies by remaining vigilant, sharing credible information, and complying with lawful directives, noting that effective security cannot be achieved in isolation.
Community Engagement as Confidence-Building Tool
In a departure from purely operational engagements, the Army Chief held direct consultations with community leaders and residents in Jos, reinforcing the importance of trust and dialogue in conflict resolution.
Lawmakers, including Dachung Bagos and Ladi Dangyok, commended the initiative, stating that visible engagement by top military leadership helps rebuild confidence among citizens and fosters cooperation.
Proactive Security Operations Underway
Operational updates were provided by Major General Folusho Oyinlola, who disclosed that troops under Operation Enduring Peace have intensified surveillance, intelligence-led patrols, and coordinated actions with other security agencies.
According to the Army, the approach is designed to prevent escalation of threats, safeguard lives and property, and stabilize vulnerable communities before crises emerge.
A Shift Toward Sustainable Peace
Military authorities emphasized that the Plateau visit is part of a broader, long-term strategy to transition from reactive responses to sustainable peacebuilding nationwide. The framework includes strengthening local resilience, ensuring justice, and maintaining continuous engagement with stakeholders.
Analysts view the initiative as a significant policy shift, reflecting a more inclusive security architecture that integrates community participation with military operations.
Call for National Unity
The Army leadership concluded with an appeal to Nigerians to reject divisive narratives and support ongoing efforts to promote unity and peace.
“The success of this mission depends not only on the armed forces but on the cooperation of every citizen,” the COAS stated.
The nationwide security renewal campaign is expected to extend to other regions in the coming weeks as authorities seek to consolidate gains and build a safer, more unified Nigeria.

Governor Muftwang commended the swift intervention of the police leadership, praising the dedication and professionalism of security personnel working to restore calm. He also acknowledged the efforts of mobile police officers and lauded the leadership of the state’s Commissioner of Police, Bassey Ewah.
Both the Nigeria Police Force and the Plateau State Government reaffirmed their commitment to safeguarding lives and property, stressing that enhanced collaboration remains key to restoring lasting peace in Plateau State, popularly known as the Home of Peace and Tourism.
Grace Nation Worldwide: A Living Reality – Dr. Chris Okafor
……“Miracles, Healing, and Deliverance Overflow at Grace Nation Services”
The Grace Nation midweek Prophetic Healing, Deliverance, and Solutions (PHDS) Service on 2nd April 2026 at the international headquarters in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, was a spectacular display of God’s power, marked by miracles, healing, and deliverance.
The God of Grace Nation continues to demonstrate His authority, breaking strongholds, healing the sick, restoring lost glory, and providing solutions to every problem presented at His altar.
Testimonies of God’s Power
One woman, previously diagnosed with a terminal condition and slated for a ₦4.5 million surgery due to inability to excrete, was prayed for by the Generational Prophet, Christopher Okafor, just a week after visiting the church. Declaring healing within 24 hours, she returned to testify to God’s miraculous intervention.
Another pregnant woman, whose baby was bridged and at risk, was located and prayed for. She returned to service with confirmation that her child is now well-positioned for delivery. Similarly, a woman booked for a C-section due to an overdue and poorly positioned pregnancy testified during the service that her baby is now properly positioned, ready for birth.
These testimonies underscore the truth: what God cannot do does not exist. Grace Nation has entered a new level of spiritual authority, and with faith, believers are witnessing the impossible become reality.
God Works by Principle, Not Gossip
In his sermon, Dr. Okafor emphasized that God does not operate on superstition, gossip, or social media pressures. His work is grounded in His Word, and it is through adherence to His principles that Grace Nation continues to flourish.
The Generational Prophet stressed that to enjoy divine blessings and fruitfulness, believers must remain connected to God’s Word, faithfully serve Him, and ignore distractions or side-talks. Focused commitment to God’s service guarantees alignment with His miraculous power.
