“The locking of these gates or all the other gates here does not address any of these issues. I think we should outgrow this approach of getting things done…” the university’s vice dean of student affairs, said.

, Akwa Ibom State, was on Tuesday disrupted as protesting students of the institution locked the university’s entrance gates over what they described as the “refusal” of the university management to meet their demands for improved hostel facilities, among other demands.

Mr Ekanem said the action was necessitated by what he described as the refusal of the university management to respond to the students’ union’s demands, saying the management “turned deaf ears to the students’ pleas”. “The management has refused to respond to these demands. None of these things have been done since that day up till now. It’s been two weeks.”He said another letter was sent to the vice-chancellor, Ndaeyo Nyaudo, as a reminder and with a five-day ultimatum to attend to the demands.

“The locking of these gates or all the other gates here does not address any of these issues. I think we should outgrow this approach of getting things done. There are better ways to get things done, by talking to A, B and C. The vice chancellor has been committed to students’ welfare, especially hostels,” Mr Akpanuko noted.
