A protest broke out at the University of Ibadan in the early hours of Wednesday, May 6, 2026, as students took to the streets over ongoing campus challenges linked to the SSANU/NASU strike.

What began as a small gathering of students from Independence and Nnamdi Azikiwe Halls of Residence quickly escalated, spreading to lecture theatres within the Faculty of Science.

IndyPress observed that students mobilised across multiple lecture venues in the Faculty of Science, Computing, and Social Sciences, disrupting academic activities.

The protest is connected to the ongoing industrial action by the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, which has affected electricity, water supply, and other essential services on campus.

More details are expected as the situation unfolds.
