Authorities of the University of Ibadan on Monday asked the
institution’s students to vacate the premises immediately,
pending the time the problem of shortage of water and
electricity would be addressed. The directive was issued to
students following an advice given by the Committee of
Provosts and Deans to the university’s management. The
Director of Communication of the institution, Mr.
Muhammed Oladejo, who confirmed the development, said the
management only asked the students to proceed on a two-
week mid-semester break. The News Agency of
Nigeria reports that students of Independence Hall of the
institution had, in the early hours of Monday, staged a
protest. The students complained that they were facing hard
time as a result of shortage of water and electricity.
