Its been two months and
five days since the
students of University of
Abuja were
unceremoniously asked to
go home and the University was shut down
due to student unrest over
students protest as to the
non-accreditation of
certain courses. It would
be the second time in 2012 alone that the institution
would be shut down over
the same issue. Now, we
are in the last days
January 2013, the school is
yet to re-open and worst of all, there is no word
from school authorities as
to any date of resumption,
let alone exams.
The protests which began
on Monday, 19th November 2012, which
was the scheduled date for
the commencement of the
University's second
semester exams, was
ignited mainly by aggrieved students of the
Faculty of Engineering due
to non-accreditation of the
engineering courses which
has been ignored for long.
The protest began on the main campus and quickly
spread to the mini-campus
in Gwagwalada where
other students joined in,
lamenting over poor
learning conditions and infrastructure.
These protests continued
the next day, with the
students barricading the
Lokoja-Abuja
expressway. Security operatives had to be called
in to take charge of the
situation, and on the 21st
of November 2012, the
school was shutdown by a
circular from the office of the University's Registrar.
Members of the Nigerian
Army were then called in
to evict the students out of
the hostels, having them
scampering away in different directions, with
two cases of female
students being beaten
mercilessly by the soldiers.
University of Abuja turned
25 on January 1st, 2013, but it is sad to say that the
deplorable state and the
latest trouble beguiling the
institution is hardly
anything to roll out the
drums to celebrate a silver jubilee. Burdened by the
constant strikes, both
internal and general, mal-
administration, and
inadequate monitoring,
the institution has known little or no development in
its 25-year existence.
Unfortunately, the
students have been the
ones to bear the brunt of
such mis-governance. In an attempt to lessen this,
the students of University
of Abuja took to Social
Media Network - Twitter
to raise these long-
unanswered questions. The aim of these visibly
aggrieved students was to
tweet about the apparent
aimlessness of the
University, ask for precise
dates of resumption and 2nd semester exams for
the 2011/2012 academic
year and generally, not to
be taken for granted.
UnibujaInPeril and constant mentions of (Special Adviser to the
President on New Media),
Reuben Abati and Federal
Ministry of Information, their goal was clear; to get
their voices heard and to
get the ear of the
government.
Tweets like:
"I have slept 30years worth of sleep from
December till date, thanks

These students have
suffered for too long.
They were driven out like
refugees from their
hostels by soldiers, not because they were being
naughty, but because they
were not given their bread
and they asked for it.
This today is the plight of
Students of the University of Abuja. We want to go
back to school, we want to
have a better education,
we DO NOT want our
futures consumed in this
idle stay at home. Let The Government Come
To Our Rescue.Thank youIts been two months and

Refugees Takes Over Unibuja As School Remains Closed



What a sad story,( My school) The University Of Abuja has been shut down in November, 2012, following students' protest over non-accreditation of some of their courses, and while students remain at home frustrated and wondering when the school will re-open, Fulani Herdsmen from neighboring villages have taken over some parts of the campus.





When a reporter visited the school and eventually gained entry this week, the sights that greeted her were not those of young men and women gaily dressed for lectures but men and women squatting in temporary tents.

These are the victims of clashes between Fulani herdsmen and the indigenous Gwari population last December over farmland and grazing of cattle which led to the death of two persons, the burning of houses and displacement of about 1500.

The minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, BalaMohammed, thereafter gave the university premises as a temporary habitation for the displaced persons and constituted a committee to look into the causes of the communal clash, with a view to proffering solutions.

One month has gone since the incidence and the refugees are still camped at the school in tents situated in the heart of the campus, right beside the senate building. Rather than students clutching books, what you see are Fulani herdsmen lounging in from of the tents and their women engaged in household chore – fetching water and cooking.

A source at the Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, said the fact-finding and implementation committees set up to investigate the issue had submitted its findings. What remains is for the technical team to act on the findings and provide an alternative permanent settlement for the refugees.

Our source however could not say if funds had been released to the team even though the minister announced a N30million compensation for the victims. He could also not say for how long the refugees would continued to be camped on the campus.



What a sad story,May God help me and all my fellow students of the school (Amen)...............................

so is it dat d much anticip8d resumptn feb 4 date z false

U see.my mumy don dey even pack my load down ....... Wat next

teezerboy :
U see.my mumy don dey even pack my load down ....... Wat next

lolZ u can go and join d fulani

It's funny bt sad, as am telling u now uniabj can't resume now until d fulani ar out because the refugees are still camped at the school in tents situated in the heart of the campus, right beside the senate building. Rather than students clutching books, what you see are Fulani herdsmen lounging in from of the tents and their women engaged in household chore – fetching water and cooking. This year students will eat cows' meat sha. Lolzzzz

Na ur hand we dey ooooo GOD

The senior special adviser to the president on youths and students (Mr Imagwe Jude) has assured us that we would be back to school soonest haven met with some stakeholders on the uniabuja issue in Abuja today.
Though it is said that senate would meet on wednesday #not confirmed

@emmyobiabo on twitter

My good friends and fellow aspirants, what kind of pathetic condition have we find ourselves, just because we want to study in uniFCT, it has really taken another dimension, i keep asking this question:what manner of man is Adelabu the VC? Since there's no good testimony about him from staff and students.....no communication link and we all have been left gunning for rumours and gossips...just hoping all the delay will be for our own good..time will tell and hope to see u soon in GWAZ. Bye.
