Category: Nigeria News

Protesters today took to the gate of the University of Ibadan, Oyo State, to express their dissatisfaction over the ongoing economic chaos in the country.

Members of the community blocked the institution’s gate, thereby preventing vehicular movement and other activities.

However, the university’s Communication Officer, Mrs Adejoke Akinpelu said the protesters had been dispersed by the security personnel.

She said, “The U.I Chief Security Officer told me that it was some miscreants in the community who gathered themselves together at the gate this morning, causing problems. Our students are sitting for their exams so they are not part of them. I was also told the security personnel who came have dispersed them.”
