This what the Registrar have to say to these:
 The University Community is hereby informed that the Student Union has resolved to embark on a lecture boycott and protest from Monday, 30th November, 2015. It should be noted that this action contravenes the University regulation which stipulates that the Student Union must give at least 48 hours notice before embarking on lecture boycott.
Among the Union’s demands are the following:
1. Constant and uninterrupted supply of electricity and water;
2. Renovation and RE-FUMIGATION of all halls of residence, laboratories and lecture theatres
3. Proper funding of the education sector
4. Reinstatement of one ‘Olawale OGUNRUKU’
Members of the University Community may wish to recall that there was a disturbance of peace on Campus on Friday, November 27, 2015 when a group of students went round Campus chanting protest songs and chasing their colleagues out of the University Library and Lecture Theatres.
Earlier within the month, members of the Central Executive Council of the Student Union assaulted a Professor and former Dean of a Faculty and disrupted a lecture that he was delivering. The matter is still being investigated.
The University Community may wish to know that in responseto the Student Union’s request for a meeting with the University Administration, a meeting was scheduled by the University Administration for Sunday, 29th November, 2015 but the Student Union Executive refused to attend the meeting. The Student Union Executive rather sent a letter after the meeting was supposed to have commenced stating that their attendance at the meeting with the University Administration would be a betrayal of their cause and frustrate their already planned lecture boycott and protest. Indeed,the Student Union Executive stated furtherthat their attendance at the meeting would put a big question mark on the integrity of theleadership of the Union and as such the planned lecture boycott and protest are not negotiable.
In regard to the demands of the Student Union, the University Community may wish to note as follows:
1. Constant and Uninterrupted Supply of Electricity and Water
The University Administration wishes to place on record that the University Campus is an estate that has enjoyed the best supply of these municipal facilities compared to anywhere else in the country as it has a dedicated line from the National Distribution Centre. Nevertheless, the reliability of these services is beyond the control of the University and should be considered in the context of the national situation. It should be noted that the continuous flow of water is related to availability of electricity.
2. Renovation and Re-fumigation of all Halls of Residence,Laboratories and Lecture Theaters
The University Community may wish to note that the Halls of Residencewere fumigated within the last one month. Since the students have requested for re-fumigation of the Halls, Laboratories and Lecture Theatres, it means that they will have to vacate their Halls of Residenceand academic activities will have to be suspended, to enable the University to meet this demand.
3. Proper funding of the education sector
The funding of the education sector is beyond the purview of ObafemiAwolowo University. The Student Union may wish to direct this demand to the appropriate quarters.
4. Reinstament of “OlawaleOgunruku”
This name does not exist in the student database of ObafemiAwolowo University. However, since every bona fide student of this University has a Matriculation Number, the Student Union may wish to provide the Matriculation number of the so-called OlawaleOgunruku to assist in establishing the veracity of the demand of the Union.
The University Administration wishes to use this medium to appeal to the generality of students to allow peace to reign and desist from any action that may lead to the elongation of the academic calendar or outright cancellation of one academic session.
