School Activities Halted As OAU Students Protest

After a two-day black out on OAU campus last week, the students decided at an impromptu conference that held on Friday,  26th November to protest the deplorable welfare state on campus as well as other incidents such as the fire outbreak in Moremi hall late last year and the disappearance of fire extinguishers reinforced this decision. The student populace decided on a peaceful protest which was to start with a lecture boycott on the 30th of November. 

The management, however, issued a circular promising better welfare conditions on a condition that all activities return to normal and also threatened to scrap out the session if the protest conditions continues.

Currently students are at the campus gate demanding an improved conditions in living standards on OAU campus. See pictures below:
