The ongoing fuel crisis and incessant lack of power supply in the country is affecting all sectors of life in Nigeria, making it super difficult to perform day to day activities including getting an education.
This morning it came to our attention that the University of Lagos had been shut down indefinitely with immediate effect. The reason given by UNILAG Senate Committee for shutting it down is cited as ongoing agitation by the student body over poor electricity, water supply & the difficulty faced by students living off campus to get to classes due to the fuel crisis.

Students were warned to vacate the hostels by 10am this morning and some students have informed the wider public about being forced out of their hostels as early as 7am this morning by armed Rapid Response Squad police officers.
