UI Shut Down By Management Following Students' Protest

The management of University of Ibadan (UI) has shut down the institution following the on-going protest by students of the institution.

This was announced by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Idowu Olayinka on Tuesday on Diamond FM, the varsity’s radio station

The students have been instructed to vacate the campus before 4 pom today.

The students staged a protest which started yesterday to register their displeasure over the rustication of one Michael Tunji-Ekpeti, 500-level Petroleum Engineering, students by the management due to the fact that he participated in a mass protest last semester when his hostel, Independence Hall, had no electricity and water supply for two weeks.
