The University of Nigeria, this afternoon suspended indefinitely all post graduate programs. This came as an after effect of protests held by students of post graduate studies.
The students had earlier agitated against the over 100% increment in their tuition, that came as orders from the new VC, Prof. Ozumba. Few hours after the protest, the Universities PRO released a circular mandating immediate evacuation of students and suspension of PG programs. Read the circular belowUNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA
