The authorities of Bowen University, Osun State, have sent their students packing and directed that the school be closed down till April 1, following students’ protest which took place on March 19.
The protest was sparked by angry students over lack of electricity, water supply and plans by the authority to increase the school fees.
Some of the students revealed that power would be switched off at 8am, switched back on by 8pm and switched off again at 11pm. They also alleged that the time table given for eating is mostly during classes.
The Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Matthew Ojo said that the decision was to allow for investigation into the cause of the unrest which left several vehicles and school infrastructure worth millions of naira destroyed.
