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.”
