OAU Closed Down Over Students Unrest

The authorities of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State, have closed down the school after 48 hours of students unrest.

The institution was shut down on Tuesday after an emergency meeting of Senate.

The students started the protest on Monday over epileptic power supply, unavailability of portable water supply in their halls of residence and alleged poor funding of education in Nigeria.

The protest prevented free flow of traffic into and out of the campus.

The institution’s Public Relations Officer, Mr Biodun Olanrewaju, who confirmed the closure of the university in an interview, said that the date of resumption would be announced as and when due.

He however said that the convocation slated for next week would still hold.

  1. I do love the manner in which you have presented this specific matter and it does offer us a lot of fodder for consideration. However, because of what precisely I have witnessed, I just trust as the feedback pack on that men and women continue to be on issue and not embark upon a tirade associated with the news du jour. Anyway, thank you for this exceptional piece and whilst I can not really agree with the idea in totality, I regard the perspective.

  2. A lot of thanks for all your efforts on this site. Gloria takes pleasure in setting aside time for research and it is obvious why. A lot of people learn all about the compelling manner you produce very helpful items on your website and in addition increase response from the others on that matter then our own girl is actually understanding a lot of things. Have fun with the remaining portion of the year. You’re the one doing a wonderful job.
