The management of the University of Ibadan yesterday announced
the closure of the institution as a result of mass protest by students of the institution.
Students
were ordered to vacate the campus with immediate effect and all hostels to be
closed latest by 4:00pm.
This development arose after the students of the institution
put up a mass protest over the management’s action of rusticating Michael
Tunji-Ekpeti, a 500 Level Petroleum Engineering student, who was said to have taken
part in a recent protest by the students last semester over poor electricity
and water supply in the school.
According to a
circular issued by the registrar of the institution, Dr O.I Olukoya, on Tuesday
titled “Disturbance of peace and threat to lives and property on campus by some
student of the University of Ibadan and other students” said that the
management had decided to shut down the school indefinitely in order to safeguard
lives and properties.
Therefore the students are advice to comply with directive
till further notice.

ReplyDeleteI wonder when people in position of authority will begin to see criticism in a positive light and stop using the powers bestowed upon them to oppress their subjects. Especially,those who would speak out. If they have so much power that cannot be flaunted, then they should turn into influence to bring amenities required into their institutions rather than harassing and abusing the freedom of speech of the citizens.
ReplyDeleteAny man or woman set over any of our institution or arm of government that will not use his/her opportunity to better our nation, God in HIS power will disgrace such out of that office and strip him/her of the influence in Jesus name. God bless you all
