Following a peaceful protest by students on July 15, the University of Ibadan management has made some concessions.
The protest, which disrupted academic and vehicular activities, was against the newly introduced 10-hour electricity rationing, victimization of UI-3, and hike in school fees.
The Education Rights Campaign (ERC) commended the students’ union government and the mass of students for their efforts, which led to the administration issuing a new circular denying the earlier one that planned to ration electricity supply within the campus.
The concessions include:
– Commitment to not victimize any student involved in the protest, including three student activists currently under disciplinary action
– Cancellation of the August 4th deadline for payment of school fees and putting further payments on hold
– Commitment to request a possible review of the fee from the university council
– Prohibition of handout sales
– Cancellation of GES textbook requirements
