Students of the University of Ibadan (UI) have taken to the streets, to protest the decision of the management regarding electricity supply, and fee hikes among others.
The protest which started in the late hours of Tuesday, continued on Wednesday with the students baring placards at the front of the university gate.
The protesters barricaded the main entrance of the institution, preventing vehicular movement into the university.
“The school authorities, in association with maintenance, must withdraw the memo on electricity rationing dated 16th July 2024. Additionally, there must be a constant power supply within the school effective immediately.
“There must be a total reversal of all fees, not just a reduction. Those who have paid must be refunded.
The Students’ Union condemns the ongoing victimisation of three students of the University of Ibadan: Aduwo Ayodele, Olamide Gbadegesin, and Nice Linus, who embarked on a peaceful protest on 13th May 2024, and calls for an end to their victimisation,” Bolaji said.
