According to the VC, resumption is likely June 1, 2019
WELCOME NOTE TO STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN FOLLOWING SUSPENSION OF THE ASUU STRIKE
It is my greatest pleasure to welcome you back to the Campus following the suspension of the national strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). Although the university was not closed down formally while the strike lasted, the reality is that no teaching was carried out over these many weeks.
2. Kindly avail yourself of the revised academic calendar for the remaining part of the 2017/2018 Session. This is available on the home page of the university web site (ui.edu.ng).
3. In particular, I wish to remind you that there are just three weeks before the commencement of your Second Semester Examinations. I implore you to make a productive use of your quality time without any further delay. Examinations will start on Monday 11 March 2019.
4. As you would expect the examination scripts would have to be graded and the results collated at the both the Departmental and Faculty levels. The Board of Examiners will have to meet before the results can be considered by Senate. None of these stages can be abridged in a World-Class University such as ours that is committed to quality assurance.
5. The processes outlined above have to be carried out meticulosly and do take time. Consequently, the 2017/2018 Session can only be concluded by the third week of May.
6. I have received numerous Whatsapp messages from the newly admitted students inquiring about the date for their resumption. I can appreciate your eagerness to enrol at Nigeria's premier University which is also rated the Number 1 University in West Africa.
7. While we are not unmindful of the need to make up for the precious time already lost, the reality is that we have to be practical and endeavour to implement what is feasible in the circumstance that we find ourselves.
8. I implore all our students to cooperate with the Management so that the current session can be concluded without any further disruption. That way, the 2018/2019 Session can commence on 1st June 2019; that would be some eight months behind the normal schedule that this University used to experience up until the late 1980s.
9. While you were away, efforts were made to upgrade the state of facilities in your Hall of Residence. As you will observe for yourselves, this is still work in progress.
10. A fortnight ago, I had the priviledge to inaugurate a Task Force to oversee the rehabilitation projects in all our 12 Halls of Residence, with the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration), Prof Kayode Adebowale, as the Chairman and Convener. I am very optimistic that the rehabilitation will continue unabated and to the satisfaction of you the residents of the Halls as the end-users.
11. As a Management, we have a responsibility to justify the well thought-out increment in hall accommodation fees at the beginning of the current session.
12. There is a newly built Chat room for your use at the Kenneth Dike Library. This would afford you opportunity for relaxation while you study. I thank the University Librarian, Dr Helen Komolafe-Opadeji, and her Management, for this initiative.
13. This facility is in addition to the 24 hour Reading Room whose seating capacity has been doubled to about 500 users at a time.
14. With the cooperation of the entire student body, I look forward to a successful completion of the remaining part of the 2017/2018 Session. This is the only way by which your siblings and friends who sat for and passed the highly competitive Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) and the very rigorous UI Post-UTME last year can join this academic community. It is the only way by which those of you are not in your final year of study can progress to the next level of study. Moreover, it is the only way our final year students can exit the university and move on with their lives -National Youth Service, Law School, Housemanship or Internship as applicable.
15. I trust that those of you who have Permanent Voters Cards and registered on Campus will exercise your civic responsibilities on Saturday, 16th February 2019, by voting for candidates of your choice.
16. Again, welcome back.

UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN, IBADAN
NOTICE ON THE RESUMPTION OF ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES
Following the suspension of the strike action embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), we wish to advise our students to plan to return to the University as from Thursday, 14th February 2019. This would enable those whose voting centers are located within the University to exercise their civic responsibilities on election days.
Academic activities have been scheduled to re-commence on Monday, February 18, 2019. A revised Academic Calendar for the rest of the 2017/2018 session is being drawn up and will be circulated shortly.
We wish all those that will be travelling from far and near to Ibadan safe trips.

Beautiful school. I'm familiar with your school. We use to pass through Millennium to go there. Some of my friends actually attended Ojora. Akpan Sunday, Adams Kazeem, Obot Wisdom and Shade.
Though, It's actually been long I last visited Ajegunle. We relocated sometimes around 2008. So, what I wrote is largely fragments of what I remembered.
I attended Oluwa Memorial Junior Secondary School.

LiteratureAjegunle - A Short Story by femiblaze(op):
When I was younger, happiness was trekking 26 minutes to the bank of Tin-Can Island. I did not know how to swim but would enjoy the view of the boys wrapping marijuana for sell. Some of the boys would switch from selling hemp to dazzling free spectators at the open field. Before I knew the count of numbers, Ajegunle had two foremost playing field, Adidas and Maracana. Over time, dilapidated and collapsed schools infrastructure made way for what became other training pitch.

In one year, around 7:30, I left home for Maracana to savour the atmospheric marijuana and the free football. That morning, I wore only my purple pants and drove a motorcycle tyre. At the pitch, bigger boys sent me errands to get marijuana. Interestingly, the younger me did not see anything wrong in mature men choosing to extinguish hungers with smoke. It was their choice and when I had my way, I will dance with the shaking smoke to the bank of the lagoon to watch the tide and to view a queue of ships docking at the port.

One day, the spirit of my village people overwhelmed me and I decided to learn how to swim. Foolish me. I sheepishly walk into the lagoon until I began to float. The lagoon pulled and pushed me until I was waltzing with the sea goddess. Back then, I believed in a lot of superstition - and I still do - and I was sure that I was dancing salsa with a mermaid. The lagoon drove me from Maracana to the back of the fence of what is now Bola Ige Millennium High School. I felt like I had disappeared, a little dizzy and a little tipsy.

I walked out of the lagoon and sat on the sandy bank, my purple pants, dripping of salty water. The sands dried and absorbed some of the water in my pants. The lagoon blew and invited me to swim more, I rebuked it and focus on the crabs. The crabs however do not appreciate my presence. Like coy secondary school girls, they would tease me to bank and then run to their holes. It was funny how they never - even for once - miss the road to their home. Fifty three times I attempted to catch one but I couldn't. Out of desperation, I tried digging one out. I failed, as the lagoon tide constantly wash away the fragile sandy door.

A sudden hunger pang pinched the walls of my stomach. The sun was already atop my brain, frying whatever was left of the lagoon water on my body. I picked up myself and walked home - my walk now extended to 32 minutes because of my sudden and unplanned teleportation. On the way, I realised that I had forgotten my cherished motorcycle tyre at Maracana. When/ if I get home, I imagined my mother would kill me. It'd taken her six days to replace my last stolen motorcycle tyre. Back then, motorcycle tyres were a cherished toy that kids were even allowed to pack in their homes, and I did have my parking garage behind the wooden cupboard.

Arriving home, I discovered that my mother and sisters had gone out to hawk. My food - a plate of rice topped with Egusi soup - was on the table. 150 kobo, the money for lunch was underneath the plate. I pocket the coins and the ate like a Wolf. My dad arrived with his traditional frown, he was the definition of a super villain. He watched me, like an examiner suspicious that I had cheated. He walked slowly, unsure if to use the leather belt I was now accustomed or a worn out cane for his interrogation. He sat on the bed and watch me like a leopard would watch a prey. My pounded like a Tiger Generator running out of fuel.

I was sure that he intended to kill me - which I did not mind - but I did not know if I would prefer being alive in that room with him, pondering my fate in fear. He allowed me to finish my food, without interrupting. Then I quickly rush to fetch him a bucket of well water - for his bath. Then I polish his shoes, then sun-dried them before brushing them to sparkling black. That afternoon, I was overdoing things like a teenager trying to impress a visiting crush. By the time I was back in the room, dad was asleep and I was relieved. Whatever I may receive would be deposited in my future punishment. But right now, I have 1 naira and 50kobo to spend before mother arrives in the evening.

The End.

Zenith is really doing a wonderful job. It's profit margin comparable to other is also impressive. I believe this feat can be further encouraged by encouraging others to follow suit, and most importantly, to pay tax. That's what Nigeria needs as an alternative to our unpredictable oil revenue. A big stable banking industry is not a bad idea too. Countries like Luxembourg and Switzerland survive entirely on their banking industry. Nigeria can do likewise.

I think it will be good to open the 2018/2019 discussion thread. This thread will give us an up-to-date information regarding UI Postgraduate program.

Anyone who is interested should come in and help others with information and other relevant documents.

Information concerning estimated form fee, school fees, duration of the program for various courses, accommodation inside and outside the school should be shared immediately. We need to help each other at this point. Forms were last sold for N15,500, I do not know how much it will be this year, but it shouldn't go beyond that same amount.
