The University of Ibadan has announced that
its second semester examinations for the
2016/17 academic session would commence
as scheduled from January 8, 2018.
This is in spite of the strike action embarked
upon by members of the non teaching staff of
Nigerian universities.
The Non Academic Staff of the Nigerian
Universities, comprising the Senior Staff
Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU,
Non- Academic Staff Union of Universities
and Associated Institutions, NASU
commenced nationwide strike since Monday
December 4 2017.
Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor
Abel Idowu Olayinka, in a statement assured
students and parents of adequate security to
ensure the seamless conduct of the
examinations and the relative comfort of
students on campus.
This was announced after the special meeting
of the institution’s senate held on Friday,
January 5, 2018.
The statement reads, “Despite the peculiarity
of the prevailing situation on campus,
occasioned by the on-going industrial action,
the University Management is determined to
always act in the best interest of its students.
“It is our desire to conclude this session as
scheduled so that our final year students can
proceed to the next phase of their life
endeavours. For instance, it will enable most
of our final year students to be mobilised for
the National Youth Service Corp Scheme and
our graduating Law students proceed to the
Law School.
“It is unfortunate that our students have
hitherto been denied many opportunities
owing to elongated sessions occasioned by
disruptions in the academic calendar.
“The University, therefore, seeks the
maximum cooperation and understanding of
all students and assures relevant stakeholders
that it has made provisions for security and
the supply of essential services on campus for
the duration of the Second Semester
Examinations. All students are advised to
have proof of identification and be security
conscious. Students are requested to visit
their Departments and Faculties for the
Examinations Timetable.
“Kindly disregard any information to the
contrary.”
