At the University of Ibadan, thousands of students have demonstrated against a rise in tuition and other concerns.
Students who were obviously upset went in huge numbers to block the institution’s gates as early as 8 a.m., when academic and non-academic personnel were confined outside the gates.

Once all entrances had been shut, they proceeded from faculty to faculty to make sure that all academic activity had been completely stopped. The students clarified that the school administration had not been fair to them when they issued the strong warning that the protest should not be captured on camera.
The incident prevented a programme in the Department of Economics, CBN Hall, from starting on time at 10 a.m.
While a few staff members made it out of the gates, they scrambled for cover as the students entered the premises and shut all the gates.
