Students of the University of Ibadan on the 16th of July, 2024, organized a school-wide protest following a recent memorandum released by the school authorities announcing a new schedule for the provision of electricity across the campus.

The protest started at about 10:00 pm from the Nnamdi Azikwe Hall, before it spilled over to the Great Independence Hall, and to other halls of residence.

The protest lasted till 2 o’clock in the morning as students chanted ‘fee must fall, change the policy, UI give us light’.

As of the time of this report, on Wednesday, 17th July, 2024, students are reconverging and mobilizing for another demonstration.
