BREAKING: #UniBen Shuts Down Academic Activities Indefinitely Over Students’ Protest [VIDEO]—The University of Benin (UNIBEN) has shut down activities at the institution following protest that errupted on Wednesday over lack of access to basic amenities despite increased fees.
GWG.ng earlier reported that students of UNIBEN took to the streets early on Wednesday to protest weeks of power outage on the campus among other issues.
The students, with only two weeks to their first-semester examination, said the situation was severely affecting their preparation.
A statement obtained by GWG.ng on X, on Thursday, signed by the PRO of the institution, Dr Benedicta Ehanire, read, “Following the insistence of students of the University of Benin to shift grounds on their demands for twenty four hours supply of electricity and more, considered unrealistic by the University’s Senate, the University has shut down academic activities indefinitely.
“Students are to vacate the hostels immediately while all the relevant units of the University are to take note and comply.
“However, non teaching staff and staff on essential, duties are not affected by the shut down.”
Viral videos captured the students exiting the hostel premises with their boxes, in compliance with the instruction from the school management.
