Workers protest leads to an indefinite closure of institution
According to reports, the protest became intense after the new Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ayobami Salam, was appointed.
The management of the school reached a decision to shut down the school after persistent protest by some of its workers.
Dotun Awoyemo, who is the Registrar of the institution confirmed the news in a telephone conversation with Punch.
He said, “We have shut down the university indefinitely pending the time that we will resolve issues with our workers – Non-academic Staff of University (NASU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (SSANU).”
“We have asked our newly admitted students to go home and postponed the resumption of old students indefinitely.”
The incident happened a week before students of the university, who had been on a two-month break were to resume.
According to Punch, the protest reached a climax after Prof. Ayobami Salam, was appointed the new Vice-Chancellor of the university.
