The management of the University Of
Ibadan (UI) on Tuesday announced the suspension of all students’ union
activities. The development followed the order on students to vacate the
campus.
This suspension was contained in a
statement by the university’s head of public relations, Olatunji Oladejo.
He noted that: “The Union Executive Council and Students Representatives Council have been suspended. All activities of the union and council have been suspended, too”.
He explained that the
university’s management engaged with students over the weekend to discuss their
grievances and that the vice chancellor called an emergency meeting of the
university senate on Tuesday at noon.
“That meeting revealed all the issues that led to where we are; that is, postponement of the first semester examinations for the 2016/2017 academic session”, Oladejo said.
The official added that the
university senate made the decision to suspend students’ union activities
“until further notice” at the conclusion of the meeting.
University of Ibadan students
embarked on a protest demanding that the institution provide them with student
identification cards, as promised months ago.
UI Vice Chancellor, Olayinka
Idowu, in response to the demonstration, announced the closure of the school
and suspension of the semester’s examinations till July 17.
