Thousands of students at the University of Ibadan have protested against a hike in school fees and other issues.
As early as 8 a.m., the visibly angry students moved in large numbers to all the entrances of the institution and blocked them.
Both academic and non-academic staff were locked outside the gates.
After blocking all the entrances, they moved from one faculty to another to ensure that academic activities were totally paralysed.
The students who warned sternly that there should be no video recording of the protest explained that the school management has not been fair to them.

Some of them who spoke with Vanguard said three issues compelled them to troop out.
A male student said, โWe are protesting against injustice and insensitivity of the state school authorities to our plight.โ
โYou can imagine the authorities saying they will be shedding power henceforth, which means there are days we will be in darkness. How do they expect us to study?โ.
