The University of Benin is set to reopen on Sunday, August 11, after the closure occasioned by students’ protests and agitations.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports the institution’s Senate, on July 4, closed the school, following protests by students over weeks of power outages on the campus.

According to a circular from the university’s Registrar, Ademola Bobola, students are required to return to their halls of residence by Sunday, August 11, with lectures set to resume on Monday, August 12.

The registrar said during the closure, the university management addressed the issues that led to the shutting down of the institution, including electricity and water supply, as well as renovation of halls of residence.

“The decision to reopen the university was made by the Senate at its meetings held on July 23 and 24, 2024, in tandem with the position of the governing council, and critical stakeholders, and after a review of the current atmosphere in the country.

“As part of the conditions for resumption, each returning student is required to swear an affidavit of undertaking to be of good conduct while in the university.

“The affidavit must contain cardinal points, as captured in the document attached to the circular.

“Students are expected to upload the affidavit on their Kofa page of the university and submit the hard copy to their departmental course adviser within two weeks of resumption,” he said.

Bobola stated that failure to comply with the directive might result in the withholding of results of defaulting students.

He assured students that necessary actions had been taken to address the issues that led to the closure, expressing the confidence that normal academic activities would resume without any hitch.

The registrar advised students to take note of the resumption date and comply with the conditions for resumption to avoid any consequences.
