The management of Obafemi Awolowo
University has banned the institution’s student union government till further
notice.
This is coming after the management
had earlier announced that all students should proceed on a mid-semester break,
but was resisted by the union’s leadership.
According to a statement on Thursday
issued by the university’s Registrar, Mr. D.A Awoyemi, some students were
planning to cause trouble in the institution and so the activities of the union
has been suspended till further notice.
“The activity of the union is hereby
suspended till further notice,” the statement said.
“It has come to our notice that some
students are yet to go home, a refusal to comply with these directives shall be
regarded as violation of the university rules and regulation in general.”
Reacting, the secretary General of
the students’ union, Oketooto Oluwaseun, said the union would react after a
meeting of its leaders.
“We are in a meeting right now to
discuss this latest development, though it is not acceptable,” he said.
