On behalf of the University Senate, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Folasade Ogunsola, FAS, has approved that the resumption of academic activities be postponed to Tuesday, March 21, 2023. However, all other activities of the university, including inaugural lectures and meetings (excluding teaching), should continue as scheduled.
It would be recalled that the federal government had directed that students of higher institutions across the country should vacate their schools ahead of the 2023 General Elections. As a result, the University Senate had approved the suspension of academic activities (teaching) from Tuesday, February 21, 2023, to Tuesday, March 14, 2023.
The postponement of resumption to Tuesday, March 21, 2023, is due to the re-scheduling of the Governorship and House of Assembly Elections from Saturday, March 11, 2023 to Saturday, March 18, 2023.
Once again, members of the university community are implored to remain safe and security conscious as well as orderly, civil and responsible in utterances and engagements, online and offline.
Further updates would be provided as the need arises in the coming days.
