OAU Students Boycott Lectures Over Transportation Crisis
StuStudents of have declared a 72-hour boycott of lectures in protest against ongoing transportation challenges on campus.
The students said the decision followed persistent difficulties in accessing reliable and affordable transport within the university, which has disrupted academic activities.
According to student representatives, long waiting times, insufficient shuttle buses, and increased fares have made movement across the campus increasingly difficult.
They demanded urgent intervention from the university management, including the provision of more buses, regulation of transport fares, and improved coordination of shuttle services.
The protest reportedly gained widespread support among the student body, with many staying away from lecture halls to press home their demands.
University authorities are yet to issue an official response, but sources indicate that discussions may be underway to address the concerns raised.
Observers say the development highlights broader infrastructural challenges within higher institutions and the need for improved welfare for students.
The situation is being closely monitored as both students and management seek a resolution to restore normal academic activities.
