OAU Students Launch 72-Hour Lecture Boycott Over Campus Transport Failures

Students at Obafemi Awolowo University will stop attending lectures from April 14 to 16, 2026. The protest targets chronic delays and overcrowding under the new transport system. Under the revamped scheme supported by Oluremi Tinubu, only newly provided buses and tricycles now serve campus routes. Students say this has led to long queues, higher fares and the removal of familiar operators who once eased movement. The Students’ Union is demanding additional buses, a temporary return of the old transport options and greater student involvement in planning. They will assess progress after the 72-hour boycott and warn of further action if conditions do not improve.
