The University of Ibadan’s management has queried two students, Olamide Iyanuoluwa and Aduwo Ayodele, for their involvement in a recent protest against a fee hike.
According to The PUNCH, the students were given a 48-hour ultimatum to respond to the query and provide supporting documents.
The management of the institution threatened to suspend the students should they fail to respond to the query in time, “with supporting documents,” if any.
This was disclosed in a memo addressed to the concerned students, dated May 24, 2024, and signed by the institution’s Deputy Registrar (Students), T.I Musa.
In a memo delivered to the students on Monday, May 27, 2024, they were accused of disrupting the inauguration of the current Students’ Union administration by their protest which the management described as disrespectful and gross misconduct.
The memo partly read, “The Student Affairs Division has received a report from the office of the Vice-Chancellor proffered against you, that on Monday, May 13, 2024, you and three other students including an unknown person (Adeyeye Oluwafemi), disrupted the swearing-in ceremony for the newly elected executives of the Students’ Union.
“At this event, Olamide Gbadegesin Iyanuoluwa, Nice Linus, Adeyeye Oluwafemi (an unknown person), and Aduwo Ayodele carried placards with scandalous inscriptions against school fee increments.
“If this allegation is true, your actions constitute an act of gross misconduct, particularly unruly behaviour in the presence of the Vice-Chancellor and other members of the university management.”
