OAU Shut Down Indefinitely! See Reactions

Well... you would first ask when they resumed that they are going on an indefinite strike again, also considering that freshmen just  resumed and their counterparts are almost true with their session already.

'Great' Ife (OAU) was shut down following workers protest over appointment of the institution's new vice chancellor, Prof. Ayobamiu Salami.

The Non Academic Staff Union (NASU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (SSANU) decry non-payment of allowances and alleged imposition of a Vice-Chancellor despite the 'no-work, no pay' threat of the school management.

In a public announcement, the University Registrar, Dotun Awoyemi said the closure was to ensure the safety of students and staff. 

On a radio announcement Awoyemi says:

We have shut down the university indefinitely pending the time that we will resolve issues with our workers - NASU and SSANU. We have asked our new students to go home and postpone the resumption of old students indefinitely.

The old students of the university are expected to resume next week after a two month break.
