OAU main gate
Students of the Obafemi Awolowo University OAU, Ile-Ife were on Monday ordered by the authorities of the institution to vacate the university following the continuous protest and shut down of facilities on the campus by workers under the aegis of Non Academic Staff Union, OAU chapter.
The University Public Relations Officer, Mr. Biodun Olarewaju, however explained that the university declared a ‘mid semester break’ not closure. It would be recalled that the workers, who started with a warning strike penultimate Wednesday, alleged that they have not been paid their hazard allowances for about 64 months. Olarewaju denied the claim that the break was connected to the protest by workers of the university, saying that the school only wanted her students to go and have rest.
