There was pandemonium at the Ugbowo campus of the University of Benin yesterday, as students took over the ever-busy busy Ugbowo-Lagos road to protest against power outage and lack of water in their hostels.
Some staff and students, who craved anonymity, described the situation as unbearable, saying they had been experiencing lack of water and electricity for over a month.
