Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) has been shut down indefinitely following continued protests by the students. The students are protesting alleged poor living condition in their halls of residence. However, the Public Relations Officer of the university, Mr. Abiodun Olanrewaju, refuted the claim that the institution had been shut down.
He said that the authorities only gave the students a mid semester break. For the two days that the protest had lasted, many students and workers in the university were stranded as there was heavy traffic at the main gate of the institution.
According to some students, epileptic power and poor water supply had made the OAU campus not conducive for habitation.
