At the Senate building,the students were seen  with placards with different messages(image below) to convey to the University management..The protesting  students  later marched down to road 1 of the institution to show their grievances and shut down the road for close to an hour...

     In the course of the protest, The University Public Relations Officer, Mr. Abiodun Olanrewaju came down to the scene and addressed the protesting students the situation on ground and promised them all issues concerning the epileptic power supply will be resolved soon..

  Prior to the protest,  a Congress was held  at the level of Afrika Amphitheater and resolved  that "no student should attend class(es) until the power supply is restored, and as such, the Students Union Public Relations Officer should go round the halls of residence to inform students of the Resolution of LECTURE BOYCOTT UNTIL POWER SUPPLY IS FULLY AND PERMANENTLY RESTORED.""

However, as the time of filing this report,Power supply has been restored to some halls of residence with others left out .
