The management of the University of Ibadan has ordered students of the university to vacate its halls of residence following the extension of the ongoing strike by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
Recall that ASUU had, on March 14, announced the extension of its strike by another eight weeks. The university announced that it would close down until further notice.
The Registrar of the university, Mrs Olubunmi Faluyi, gave the directive on Thursday.
The university, however, exempted postgraduate students who have paid their fees and undergraduates students on industrial attachment and practical training from vacating the campus.
The registrar said, “Management, at its meeting on Wednesday, March 16, 2022, deliberated on the ongoing industrial action embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, which had now been extended by eight (8) weeks.
“As a result, academic activities in the University have become paralysed.
“Consequently, the vice-chancellor, on behalf of Senate, has directed that the university be closed until further notice.
“Therefore, all students are hereby mandated to vacate the halls of residence with immediate effect.
