Although a letter of suspension has not been issued to them, the students said the verdict of the meeting was verbally read to them on Monday —a suspension for four semesters.
Nigeria’s premier university, the University of Ibadan (UI), Oyo State, has suspended two of the three students facing disciplinary actions for protesting hike in fees by the university.
The suspended students, Ayodele Aduwo and Mide Gbadegesin, said they were informed about their suspension when they faced a disciplinary committee on Monday, the third since the protest a year ago.
Although a letter of suspension has not been issued to them, the students said the verdict of the meeting was verbally read to them on Monday —a suspension for four semesters.
While Mr Ayodele is a 400-level student of History, Mr Gbadegesin is a postgraduate degree student at the Institute of African Studies of the university.
The third student facing disciplinary action, Nice Linus, had also dragged the school to court after it failed to inaugurate her as a member of the Students Representative Council (SRC) after she contested and won the position.
The university claimed her election was an oversight as she couldn’t have contested an election while facing a disciplinary action at the university.
