OAU Students Asked To Vacate School Immediately, As School Shuts Down

The management of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife has asked students to vacate the university after its emergency senate meeting held on Sunday.
The closure tagged as a ‘mid-semester break’ is connected to the continuous protest by workers under the aegis of Non Academic Staff Union, OAU chapter.
It will be recalled that the workers, who started with a warning strike on July 1, alleged that they have not been paid their hazard allowances for about 64 months.

The schools Public Relations Officer, Mr. Biodun Olarewaju, however insists that the university declared a ‘mid semester break’ not closure, adding that it had nothing to do with the protest by workers of the university.

But interestingly, the university has never declared such a break since its establishment.
