Wisdom is profitable to direct

That's a wise university.

You may all think its a ploy to waste two weeks of academics. Actually, the reverse is the case.

Its a time for the university to make valuable judgment of things and to also furge forward.., without necessarily wasting the students time.

Things are not always what they seem to be on the surface.

Let's get used to it.

Oga wetin happen?

SO?!!!!

it was not due to fuel shortage ooo the student have been expriencing shortage of power supply which makes it difficult for them to pump water to use.

Na so my babe tell me o!
Say dem no even get water to bath go class!

sigh

so they can't trek.

That's one good thing about my Unibadan. I those days....no lectures once there's no water and electricity in school. Exams have been postponed several times because of this.
The management don't believe in inconveniencing students as a result of power outage... So best thing is to shut down the school while things normalize.
Why will students be attending classes without water and adequate supply of electricity.
Of the Greatest UItes.....greatest gbo gbo......greatest gba gba....greatest jewon......greatest shiwon.......

Why would the authority of this institution expect the fuel crisis to last another two weeks?

Are they not aware that "Change" is coming soon?
