UNN Students Riot Continues. by TheLegal(m): 2:59pm On Jun 14, 2016 |

ENUGU— Angry students of
University of Nigeria Nsukka,
UNN, Enugu Campus have shut
down the school. Lectures were
not holding for about one week
and the non-academic staff were
not allowed to work in their
offices.
The angry students were
demonstrating against poor
academic environment. The
students, who turned out in their
numbers at the campus gate to
protest poor academic
environment, yesterday, would
not allow the staff to move in
or out as security officers lock
ed the gate.
The students, it was learned, had
not had steady power supply for
three months and had relied on
generator and intermittent
power supply from EEDC.
Apart from epileptic power supply
or lack of it, the students
complained that their hostels
stank because they lacked water
and they buy a bucket for
N30.00.
The students who spoke to
Vanguard, equally lamented that
they lacked enough
accommodation as too many
students were pitched in a room
and they slept on mattresses long
overdue for change. They equally
paid for Wi fi services but they
were not enjoying it.
Overwhelmed by these
grievances,the protesting
students carried placards that
read: 'How can we save lives
without light, light is our right,
no light no lectures.'
Speaking with Vanguard, the
students said that, "Life has not
been easy .Our mattresses are
bad. We are too many in a room.
"We paid for Wi fi, but we are
not enjoying it,” they pointed
out in unison.
"We are demonstrating against
the school management. We
don’t want any movement in the
school," the angry students
declared as they blocked the
entrance, chanting songs.
The public relations officer of the
university, Mr. Gabriel Onah, in a
telephone interview, said he was
at a meeting at the time of filing
this report and would react
afterwards on the issue.
However, a lecturer, who refused
to disclose his name, told
Vanguard that the students
were doing the right thing.
“The students are right. The
school management is not helping
matters. They will not listen.
Now for one week, there have
been no lectures,” he said. |
