UNILAG Students Protest Poor Amenities On Campus

UNILAG students on Wednesday morning (today) had
a peaceful protest that resulted in academic activities
coming to a halt. The protest according to a report
occured as the students demanded a shift in the date
of the commencement of their semester
examinations as well as an improved supply of
electricity and water on campus.
Though, the demonstration was largely peaceful, the
action prevented early morning classes in some of
the departments.
The students, who were to begin their examinations
next week, alleged that the poor water and electricity
provision would affect their performance in the tests.
A student, who craved anonymity for fear of
victimisation, said the protest started about 7am at
the Jaja Hall of the university.
According to him, the action would have escalated
but for the timely intervention of the Dean of
Students Affairs, Prof. Tunde Babawale, who
promised to look into their demands.
Meanwhile, the Assistant Registrar, Information, Mr.
Olagoke Oke, told our correspondent that the crisis
had been resolved.
He blamed the action on "some boys" who he said
did not want to sit for the forthcoming examinations.
