The Students Union Government (SUG) had in
a letter to the Vice Chancellor dated 11th
November 2014 and copied external bodies
sought to dialogue with the University
Management on or before 17th November,
2014 to discuss eleven (11) demands. This
letter was received by the Vice Chancellor on
the 18th November, 2014.
Prior to this, the Dean of Students had drawn
their attention to some procedural
irregularities and advised that the
irregularities be corrected and re-submitted

Despite the above mentioned procedural
irregularities, the Dean of Students, the Vice
Chancellor, Management and other
stakeholders (the Staff Unions) interacted
with the SUG EXCO at various meetings with a
view to resolving the issues but they
remained adamant.
The SUG EXCO mobilized students to stage a
protest on the 24th November 2014 which
turned violent on 25th November 2014 as a
result of which University properties were
damaged. The Vice Chancellor on behalf of
Senate set up an Investigative Committee to
investigate the causes of the demonstration
and to make appropriate recommendations
to avert future recurrence.
The Committee was given three weeks to
submit its report. The Committee requested
for an extension of three weeks which was
granted. The Committee submitted its report
to the Vice Chancellor who forwarded it to
Senate for consideration.
Senate met on the 5th February 2015 and
deliberated extensively on the report and
directed as follows:
1.That the University properties were
extensively damaged by students during the
students’ unrest and they should therefore
be surcharged for the damages and other
costs incurred by the University and not
captured in the Report of the Investigative
Committee.
2.All returning students should sign an
undertaking under Oath to be of good
behavior during their remaining period as
student of the University.

each online using the students payment
system (https://mis.unijos.edu/fees)and

expenses incurred by the University as a
result of the demonstration.

academic activities on Monday 23rd
February 2015. The Second Semester
Examinations which was disrupted by the
students’ demonstration will commence on
Monday 23rd February 2015. The Hostels and

must present a duly completed letter of
undertaking stamped by the Commissioner
of Oath to be of good behavior and evidence
of payment of the sum of Twelve thousand

established against the SUG EXCO and
