The Management of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has postponed the reopening of the institution’s hostels earlier scheduled for today February 15, 2021 due to the ongoing strike action by the non-academic unions in the university.
It wll be recalled that UNILORIN’s Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) on February 8, joined the nationwide strike called by their national bodies.
A statement issued by Director of Corporate Affairs of the University, Kunle Akogun, said the on-going strike had affected the sources of electricity and water supplies to the hostels.
The statement read in part: “This is to inform 100 level students of the university that the reopening of school hostels, earlier scheduled for Monday, February 15 has been postponed.
“A new date for the reopening of the hostels will be announced in due course.
“We appeal to our students, on whose welfare we place a very high premium, to bear with management and await further announcements.
“Please note, however, that virtual lectures will continue as scheduled for all categories of students,” he said.
