Authorities of the University of Ibadan and Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife have ordered the reopening of their institutions for academic activities.

While OAU directed that academic activities should start on Monday (today), UI said full academic activities would begin on January 4, 2014.

This was contained in separate statements by the Director, Directorate of Public Communication, UI, Mr. Olatunji Oladejo, and Public Relations Officer of OAU, Mr. Biodun Olarenwaju.

They said this was in line with the decision of their governing councils, to implement the directive of the Committee of Pro-Chancellors of Federal Universities and the National Universities Commission that universities should reopen for academic activities. The Federal Government had directed all universities in the country to reopen on December 4, before it was postponed to December 9 to enable lecturers to attend the burial ceremony of late Prof. Festus Iyayi, who died in a motor accident on his way to attend a congress of the Academic Staff Union of Universities in Kano.

Are these people silly? ASUU did not close the schools, they went on strike

UI was actually closed and students sent packing

Deekaydadon: UI was actually closed and students sent packing

By the school management ASUU does not have that power

Yea so thats why they've decided to reopen it now
