Students at the University of Ibadan in Oyo State are currently protesting the introduction of a 10-hour daily electrical supply on campus.
According to reports, the institution began providing a 10-hour daily electricity supply yesterday (Tuesday).
The institution’s Department of Works and Maintenance published a memo outlining the new policy.
Engineer O.A. Adetolu, Director of Works, signed the memo, which was dated July 16, 2024.
The letter reads, “Effective immediately, the Vice-Chancellor has approved 10-hour daily electricity supply on Campus as follows: 1. Day Time: 08 a.m. 02 p.m. (6 hours) 2. Night Time: 10 p.m. 02 a.m. (4 hours) Kindly adhere strictly to the approved schedule. Thank you”.
It was reported that there is currently outrage on campus.
A student who asked not to be named stated that students began protesting yesterday night (Tuesday).
He claimed that the protest continued until this morning.
The student said, “There was a protest yesterday night that lasted till about 2 am today.
“The University of Ibadan introduced the notice that it would start rationing a 10-hour electricity distribution on campus.
“This follows an outrageous increment in fees, introduction of inexplicable and duplicated fees like utility levy, which is 20,000, among other unconscionable fees.”
