Following the continuous protest by workers of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), authorities, on Thursday closed down the institution indefinitely, halting academic activities.

The school management made this known in a circular released from the Division of student Affairs (DSA) of the school.

It ordered students to vacate the campus immediately.

“All newly admitted students of the university presently going through orientation on campus are hereby ordered to vacate the school premises with immediate effect while resumption of the returning students have been postponed indefinitely”, the circular read.

“All final year students currently writing their projects on campus are to vacate the school premises till further notice.”

“All the students are expected to vacate the University premises by Thursday 23rd June 2016 by 12 noon.”

Although the university did not disclose the reason for the closure, workers in the university, under the aegis of Non-Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities (NASU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities (SSANU), had in the past week intensified their protest over the non-payment of allowances.

The workers are also against the recent appointment of Professor Ayobami Taofeek Salami as the Vice Chancellor of the institution.
