Breaking News: OAU Management Suspends Union Leaders

Some of the Students' Union leaders of the Obafemi Awolowo University may have been suspended, a source told OAU Peeps News Agency.

The SU President, Akande Omotayo a.k.a TY; Secretary General, Oketooto Oluwaseun a.k.a Hon. Seun and Ojedokun Emmanuel a.k.a Immanuel Kant faced an inquiry panel set up by the university authority to look into and investigate the alleged disruption of Prof. Y. K. Yusuf's class late last year. Though the report from this panel is yet to be made public but a source who pleaded anonymity told our correspondent that these Union officers have been been suspended with the highest getting 6 semesters suspension.

Reacting to the development, the Union President acknowledged that he been hearing the 'rumour' but yet to be officially notified of such.

More details later.

OAU Management To Commence Refurbishment Of SUB On Monday

The Obafemi Awolowo University Management has notified the students of the institution of the impending refurbishment work at the Students' Union building.

In a notification message churned out by the Division of Student Affairs (DSA) lately, Monday, January 11, 2016 has been billed for the commencement of the refurbishment work.

"This is to notify the generality of students that in response to the request of students for the general refurbishment of the Students' Union Building, work shall commence on the Building from Monday January 11, 2015."

It would be recalled that a circular stating the suspension of Students' Union activities was issued on December 3 last year following protests by students over their bad welfare condition in the halls of residence. It is however not clear if the alleged request for refurbishment by students was made on their behalf by the much embattled Union leadership since the demonstrations of students in recent times have been for the renovation of the Halls of residence.

OAU Resumption: Power & Water Supplies Yet To Be Restored

With less than 24 hours to the resumption of students of Obafemi Awolowo University from mid-semester break as set by the institution authority, basic amenities are yet to be restored to the Halls of residence.

Life has returned to OAU Campus as students have started to troop in for the resumption. It is however unfortunate that power and water supplies are yet to be restored to the Halls of residence as at press time.

Lectures have been slated to commence on Monday, January 11, 2016.
