The University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka, has banned the unauthorized use of its campus, including hostels and other facilities, for video production by skitmakers, filmmakers, and content creators.
In a statement released on Thursday, October 28, and signed by Head of Communication Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem, the university expressed concern over the rising trend of individuals filming skits, movies, and other content on campus without prior approval.
The decision is intended to protect the academic environment and safeguard the institution’s image from potential misrepresentation in unregulated productions.
“The attention of the University of Lagos Management has been drawn to the increasing use of University premises, including hostels and other facilities, for shooting films/videos (skits, vox pop, etc.) and other cinematographic activities without proper authorization,” the statement read.
UNILAG emphasized that it has set procedures for filming or content creation on campus to maintain safety, decorum, and the integrity of its academic and residential spaces. Students, staff, and external collaborators are required to obtain official approval from the communications unit before any recording.
“Members of the University community and the general public are therefore advised to adhere strictly to this directive in the interest of order, safety, and collective responsibility,” the statement added.
