University of Ibadan (UI) will be holding a parent and stakeholders forum to resolve the crisis, which led to the closure of the university, a few weeks ago.
The meeting titled “University of Ibadan parents/stakeholders’ forum” is scheduled to hold at Trenchard Hall, University of Ibadan, on Tuesday, 7 June, 2016, at 11am.
In a statement signed by Olujimi Olukoya, registrar of the University, parents are urged to attend the meeting without their wards, as students are not yet allowed on campus.
“Following the recent development that led to students being advised to vacate the campus, the Management, Senate and Council of the University of Ibadan, have at various levels been deliberating on ways to address this problem with a view to finding lasting solution and ensuring resumption as soon as possible,” the statement read.
“Parents and other stakeholders in the UI project are cordially invited to this forum… we specially covet your presence and valuable input at this important meeting.
“Kindly note that students are yet to be recalled and as such should still stay away from the campus. Thank you for your support at all times.”
Students have taken to social media to describe the meeting as a Parents, Teachers Association (PTA) meeting, reminiscent of their primary and secondary school days.
Ayantola Alanyande, the Students’ Union public relations officer (PRO), in another statement, urged students to remain calm and resolute in their demands for justice and basic amenities.
“While we await the decision of the University on Mote’s case, electricity and water supply, and resumption date, we have our fingers crossed and keep undying strategies to ensure that our victory is certain,” the statement read in part
“Once again, disregard any post launching attacks on the Union leadership and throwing such divisive darts in the minds of students.
“Like the Vice Chancellor of the University himself said yesterday ‘tough time never lasts, but tough people do’, we remain committed and undiscouraged in this struggle. This is a moment of social change and it comes with both loyalty and betrayal.
