UI bars students from campus, to conduct classes online
Authorities of the University of Ibadan (UI) have insisted that its campus would not be opened for students resuming academic activities for the 2020/2021 session.
The clarification follows the information trending on social media that the university has published allocation of students into their respective hostels and students are expected to make payments.
Olatunji Oladejo, the institution’s spokesman said in a statement released in Ibadan on Thursday, that the information on social media was not correct, urging the public to disregard it.
“The university hereby wishes to inform the new students and the general public to disregard the information as the student registration portal has not been opened. Kindly beware!
“Management wishes to restate as contained in the university’s official bulletin No. 4353 of 14 January, 2021 entitled ‘Approved Revised Academic Calendar for 2018/2019’ as follows:
“In approving the calendar, the Senate noted the prevailing circumstances occasioned by the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to comply with the protocols established for the control of the spread of the pandemic.
“It, therefore, agreed that the 2020/2021 first semester lectures will be delivered online.
“In this regard, no student will be accommodated on campus.
“New students are to please note that the opening of the registration portal and the orientation programme for 2020/2021 session will commence on or before Saturday, 20 February, 2021.
“Details of registration procedure/guideline will be available on the university website www.ui.edu.ng soon,” it stated.
