The university also ordered students to vacate their hostels immediately, saying non-academic staff were not affected with the directive.

The Senate of the University of Benin has shut down academic activities at the institution following Wednesday’s protests.

“Following the refusal of students of the University of Benin to shift grounds on their demands for twenty-four hours supply of electricity and more, considered unrealistic by the University’s Senate, the University has shut down academic activities indefinitely,” the statement read.“Students are to vacate the hostels immediately while all the relevant units of the University are to take note and comply. However, non-teaching staff and staff on essential duties are not affected by the shutdown.

The prolonged power cut has severely impacted their preparation for the upcoming first-semester examinations which are just two weeks away.
