OAU Management Shuts Down School After Protest
The management of Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile Ife has ordered students to go on a three-week mid-semester break following protests over transport and welfare issues.
The decision was approved on Tuesday after unrest on campus.
The move came after students blocked major roads and disrupted movement while protesting a new transport system and other concerns.
Authorities said the situation raised safety issues for both the university community and the public.
School officials said the break would create room for dialogue and help restore calm.
Students were urged to remain peaceful while discussions continue between management and stakeholders.
The protest was driven by complaints over transport delays, accommodation plans, and problems with the school portal.
Tension rose after changes linked to new buses introduced to improve campus movement led to long queues and frustration.
