Transportation Challenges: UNILORIN Management Sympathizes with Students

The management of the University of Ilorin, Kwara State, has sympathized with the students over the transportation challenges they are subjected to.

This was contained in a statement signed by Director, Corporate Affairs, University of llorin, Kunle Akogun, on Wednesday January 25, 2023.

“The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole, SAN, and the entire management team of the University of llorin feel the pains of the hardship that our dear students and staff go through every morning and evening on their way to and from the campus,” the statement reads.

It adds, “This issue of inadequate transportation leaves many stranded every morning and evening during peak hours.

“Even the injection of more buses to the campus route has not achieved any tangible result as the nationwide fuel scarcity has compounded the situation, thereby rubbishing such intervention.”

The management has instructed the adjustment of lecture time table to make it more flexible.

According to the statement, the statement is aimed at mitigating the effect of the unfortunate situation on the students.

“Also, we have renewed our zoom licences to activate the virtual lecture option recently approved by the vice- chancellor.

“While further mitigation steps are being considered, the management appeals to all for your continuous understanding, as everybody knows that the factors responsible for the present situation are not peculiar to the University of llorin,” the statement concluded.
