OAU Orders Three-Week Break Amid Violent Protests Over New Transport System and Welfare

Obafemi Awolowo University has suspended academic activities for three weeks after student demonstrations over transport and welfare concerns turned disruptive. The Senate approved the mid-semester hiatus following violent protests sparked by the introduction of CNG buses, long queues and delays, and issues with accommodation and the newly upgraded e-portal. Key campus roads were blocked and safety concerns rose. The break will allow management to consult stakeholders and restore order. Students have been urged to remain peaceful and law-abiding as discussions on transport, housing and portal challenges continue.
