It is absolutely unspeakable that the University of Abuja, situated in nation's capital is in dilapidated condition. In fact, the university is one of the worst in the nation as per infrastructure, poor management and instability.

The university has been rocked with several crises over the past years, the issues appear more intensified as those in charge of the administration seem to complicate matters.

Right now, the avalanche of files, recommendation and facts/figures that indict the management that are before the authorities, even the presidency that have been left unattended to raise more worries on whether the government is ready to solve the problems of the school.

There was unrest recently within the campus which led to total shut down of academic activities for about four months, after a prolonged reaction by students over publication of the Council for Regulation of Engineering (COREN), disqualifying the university whose Faculty of Engineering was not accredited. Subsequently, in April, 2012, the Minister for Education, Prof, Rukayyat Rufai officially pronounce the suspension of four new academic programmes; Engineering, Agriculture, Veterinary Medicine and Human Medicine.

The action prompted the students to take to the streets of Abuja, expressing anger. This dismay generated series of confusion over University of Abuja, to the extent that people began to seek clarification over the competence of the Vice Chancellor of the institution to manage the affairs of the institution, arguably, the university community accused the VC to have been hinted prior to the demonstration but nothing substantial was arrived at to curb or ameliorate the incidence which later escalated into riots and violent demonstration by the students.

Obviously, for those that are familiar with the university environment, this account is just a piece of a bunch.
