Students refuse to vacate campus, cook food outside varsity gate

The students say, “The UI management should tell the world why it has chosen to forcefully disperse almost 30,000 students to go home over diplomatic reinstatement of a SINGLE student back on campus ."

The students of the University of Ibadan have refused to heed the school management's directive to vacate the school premises.

The school ordered the closure of the campus after students staged a protest against the rustication of a 500 Level student of Petroleum Engineering, Tunji Ekpeti Michael, on Tuesday, April 26.

They have now chosen to camp outside the school gate with one student revealing that they are cooking food.

On Wednesday, April 27, the students stated that they were still on campus and decided to organise communal cooking.

Students took to social media yesterday where they posted several pictures of the cooking session. In a hilarious post, the students invited Vice Chancellor, Prof. Abel Idowu Olayinka to partake in the meal.
