Students of Obafemi Awolowo University
( OAUIFE ), Ile-Ife, in Osun State, on Monday
failed to resume for academic activities
despite the Federal Government directive for
immediate reopening of all federal
Universities in the country.
A visit to the Institution , shows that none of
the students were seen on campus for
possible commencement of academic
activities as directed by the Government.
Mr Abiodun Olarenwaju, the Public Relations
Officer of the institution, confirmed that not a
single student was on campus ”for any
reason whatsoever”.
He said that the few lecturers on campus
were around ”for reasons other than
academic activities.
‘’Sincerely, none of our students show up on
campus as of today, but some of the
lecturers are around, although they are not
coming for any academic activity, they
always come around for other reasons.
‘’You know our lecturers have not totally
deserted the campus like that, many of them
still come around to do one or two things in
their offices, but no teaching and learning
activities.’’
Meanwhile, one of the commercial
motorcyclists operating within the campus
environment, Mr Muraiona Abiola, said that
most of their members were suffering due to
low patronage since the commencement of
the ASUU strike in July.
According to him, the usual heavy patronage
by the students has decline since the
commencement of the strike, which forced
the students to leave the campus abruptly.
Abiola, therefore, called for early resolution
of the issues between ASUU and the Federal
Government to enable the commercial
motorcyclists bounce back to business.(NAN)
