He said: “The attention of the management has been drawn to media reports stating that the young man, who plunged into the lagoon from the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos recently, was a fresh graduate of Quantity Surveying from the Lagos State University
“While the university sympathises with the family and relations of Davies on the unfortunate incident, we find it pertinent to correct the media reports crediting his studentship to LASU.
“We enjoin the media to exercise more diligence in gathering their facts before publishing reports, to avoid misleading the public.”
