According to UI’s Director of Communications and Publication, Olatunji Oladejo, the closure became necessary so as to avert a crisis after students of the premier university had earlier staged a protest on the streets of Ibadan lamenting what they tagged the insensitive disposition of the university management to their security and welfare.
A student congress held on Saturday had passed a resolution that steps be taken to disrupt the forthcoming examinations if students were not provided with identity cards and allowed to use cooking appliances within the halls of residence.
Oladejo in a statement issued Monday afternoon however denied the allegation and stated that the university’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof Idowu Olayinka had convened an emergency meeting of the university Senate to review the circumstances surrounding the development.
Oladejo said;
“The University of Ibadan in its wisdom has decided to shift the examination earlier scheduled for June to July, 2017, ”
Everybody is trying to silence free speech and rights to protest in this country and it's very bad for the health of our democracy.
