The University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, has been closed down.
DAILY POST gathered that the institution’s management had asked students to vacate their hostels immediately.
A source told our correspondent that although the UNN management said the closure was a temporary break, it was actually meant to avert a riot which would have been carried out by the students within the week.
A student told DAILY POST that they had been faced with acute water scarcity and epileptic power supply for a long time.
The statement from the university management, signed by Okwun Omeaku, its Chief Public Relations Officer, read: “This is to bring to the notice of all students and the entire University Community, that the University of Nigeria shall proceed on a TWO-WEEK MID SEMESTER BREAK with immediate effect.
“Consequently, all academic activities on the campuses are hereby suspended for the period.
“Students are by this notice directed to vacate their hostels within the next 24 HOURS, ie, not later than 6pm. on TUESDAY, JUNE 02, 2015″.
The Climax of the situation was when a Peace Mass Transit Bus carrying 34 students from Nsukka TO Enugu crashed all to death.
