Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto Shut Down, students protest


The authorities of Usman Dan Fodio University (UDUS) have ordered the immediate and indefinite closure of the university. The decision followed demonstrations staged last night by students at the university’s permanent campus in Dundaye. The students were protesting against incessant electric power outages at the institution. “We can’t study, we can’t rest, we relax, we can’t do anything when there is no light,” a second year political student of the university told newsmen.”


Hundreds of irate students demanded that the management of the university restore electricity or face widespread destruction of buildings and other assets of the institution.

Sokoto state is one of the areas in the northern part of Nigeria hit by acute shortage of electricity for more than one week. The lack of electricity has crippled economic and social activities, said our correspondent.

The management of the university ordered all students to vacate the institution by noon today.
