All is set for all newly-admitted students for the 2019/2020 academic session at the Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti to resume for academic activities on Monday, 23rd November.
In a statement by the Head, Directorate of Information, Mr Bode Olofinmuagun, the university said the resumption included pre-degree, diploma and 100 level students of the university.
Olofinmuagun noted that the students are expected complete their registration exercise and resume for other academic activities.
“All returning students are hereby advised to take personal COVID-19 precautions by ensuring that they have their face masks and hand sanitizers with them at all times on campus”.
“The Vice Chancellor, Professor Edward Olanipekun, has assured parents, guardians and all the returning students of adequate COVID-19 precautions and protocols which have been put in place by the university management,” he said.
The Ekiti State House of Assembly had in the week intervened in the face off between the university management and union leaders in a bid to put an end to the contentious issues in the institution.
Prof Olanipekun, had at the meeting, empathised with workers over the current situation in the university, saying the management was not oblivious of precarious financial situation in the institution, though, the institution had achieved so much under the administration of Dr John Kayode Fayemi.
He also reacted to the agitations of the Union, such as backlog arrears of cooperatives deductions, stagnation of staff, amongst others, saying they were not the making of his administration.
