Medical students of the University of Benin, on Tuesday, took to the streets to protest what they described as unfair treatment on the part of the management, Igbere TV reports.

Igbere TV reports that no fewer than 50 students, barricaded the main gate leading to the Ugbowo main campus of the school, disrupting non-academic activities temporarily.

Our correspondent learned that the students were protesting lack of electricity, security and pipe-borne water in the university's main campus.

The protesters were armed with placards, some of which read, ‘Transformer down for four weeks, no light’, ‘Fix our light, exam in darkness, no water’, ‘Medical hostel is now a forest’, ‘Security challenges in NDDC hostel’.

Speaking with our correspondent, one of the protesting students said they have been in darkness for weeks and have no good water on campus.

According to her, the medical students are currently writing their professional exams and lack electricity to study.

She alleged that some of her colleagues walk miles to surrounding neighbourhood just to get water and charge phones, adding, “security is also an issue.”

A medical student, who gave his name as ‘Dr. Jay’, said grasses have taken over their hostels, alleging that they now share walkways with snakes and reptiles.

Efforts to obtain comments from the university's spokesman, Mr. Michael Osasuyi, were unsuccessful.

But an official of the Students’ Union Government who confirmed the development, said efforts were on ground to resolve the issues.

The official who craved anonymity, added that the Union and the Student Affair Department were already on top of the matter.

Similarly, a Facebook post by the immediate past Union President, Ogbidi Osemudiamen, collaborated the report.

“Kudos UniBen students. If Ugbowo is like this, what is the the fate of Ekehuan campus?. #NoLight, #NoWater, #NoSecurity”, he wrote.

Ekehuan is the second and mini campus of the University of Benin. The campus, located along Ekehuan road, currently hosts the Mass Communication department, Theatre and Applied Arts, amongst others.

Uniben again.. this school too like protest

Nigerians are difficult to handle o. Give them the water and see some wicked souls destroy what the school has spent enough money on.

people cried for street light, oya give them the streets lights and see same people sell the batteries powering the streets light.

I hail God on how HIM try create humans most especially Nigerians.

Nigeria which way?

No sector is left out of this breakdown.
Imagine a high-ranking federal university lacking electricity for weeks! Being an excellent student in a public university requires lots of effort and 'divine help' because there are so many factors in place to pull you down.

Our leaders have failed us. We need serious help right now.

Ok

Nothing works here...e

Except for the looters

They are not on strike, it is a protest

problem is too much in this country
ahahaha

Back then in UNN, person been don do this kind thing o.

NASU happened.

Why should they care? How many of their wards school there?

Afterall majority of these students complaining are the ones that would kill for these miscreants.

U see Nigeria eh, na yeye country. In 21 century, an oil rich country with hundreds of other natural resources simply cant provide basic things of life.

Shame. More protests like this will help fix things up. Nigerians, we too relax o.

the day I will get out of that hell of an institution will be my happiest. the management of that institution are monsters in Homan clothing.

Holumhidey:
You mean the UNIBEN that am planning to go.....

U mean the people commenting on NL frontpage don't already have degrees?

How sad the way the great Uniben has fallen. I remember the days of Anao (one of the best VC till date) when cleanliness, functional facilities was the order of the day.

#sad

Lagos Ibadan expressway media will term them IPOB youths for demanding their rights.

Good action
