The University of Ibadan Plans To Expel 328 students over ‘Shameful Academic Performance’. One out of every nine students in 100 level failed to meet the minimum condition to retain their studentship.

The VC in a statement released on Tuesday, March 27, 2018, blamed the situation on the absence of post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination test before the affected students were admitted into the university.

The list of the affected students according to Olayinka was compiled following the “meeting of the University Senate held on March 19 and 20 to deliberate on the 2016/2017 academic results of the final year and non-final year students.”

Obafemi Awolowo University authorities have explained why the institution supported the arrest and prosecution of five students, who allegedly resisted forceful eviction of female students from their hostels.

Following their arrest on Wednesday, March 21, 2018, the five students, Gbenga Olaniran, Oyedeji Samson, Olajide Adedamola, Jimoh Oladipupo and Adeniji John, were arraigned at the Ife Magistrate Court on Thursday, March 22, 2018.



However, while civil groups and staff of the university condemned the school management for handing over its own students to the police for prosecution, the university management has explained the reasons it supported the arrest and prosecution of the students.

In a statement issued on Monday, March 26, the university authority denied the claims that the students were arrested and arraigned for protesting an alleged illegal eviction of students from their hostels.

The statement reads in part:

“On Wednesday, March 21, 2018, the Hall Warden and Porters at Moremi Hall (a Female Hostel) moved around the hostel and reminded students unlawfully occupying the hostel to move out.

“The students were complying when all of a sudden, some men came out of nowhere and forcefully moved the belongings of the female students back into the hostel on the ground that the university had no right to ask them to pack out,”

Some of the students who carried placards with various inscriptions told NAN that the state-owned institution’s decision was not justifiable since the state government also owed their parents’ salary arrears and allowances.

Some of the placards had inscriptions like: “What will our parents use for payment of school fees when salaries of over a year are not paid?”

Some of the students, who spoke with NAN, called for the immediate intervention of the state governor on the issue.

The crisis between herdsmen and farmers in Nigeria has taken another twist as the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) is now demanding for compensation for its members, killed during all forms of crisis in the country.

Herdsmen Plead for Compensation For Members Who were Killed During Crisis

Baba Ngelzarma, National Secretary of MACBAN, who appealed to FG to set up a Ministry of Livestock Development to attend to the multidimensional needs of herdsmen, while briefing newsmen in Abuja, said no fewer than 1,000 of its members including women and children have been killed and 20,000 cattle rustled between June 2017 and January 2018 during crises in various states.

“We call on the government to pay compensation to victims of all crises to reduce their level of suffering. If the government accepts that, it is left for them to establish a committee that will go and access the level of damage.

We have a document of members that were affected by the pastoralists in the North-East but what we discovered is that none of them were captured in the IDPs programme because they are not sedentary.
