The expensive private university was almost set ablaze by the angry
students, who are angered by the school management inability to provide
enough power supply as well as water to their hostels.
According to the students, the light is usually not available by 8am and they bring it by 8pm and take again by 11pm, when they need it to read or sleep. The students protested the inhuman treatment meted out to them, while their lecturers cruise in Air Conditioned offices and cars. They are also angered by the management plan to increase their school fees to N600,000 per session, when the school lacks the facility to make them better graduates than their counterparts.
"They take the light by 8am, and bring it back by 8pm and it goes off by
11pm again. We don't have water, no socket light, while our lecturers are in
AC offices and cars. We have time table for eating. 7-9am for breakfast,
12-3 for lunch and 6-8 for dinner. Most times we have classes during these
periods" A student told reporters.
All the students have been chased out of the campus, while the few arrested ones are still in police custody.
