Students of the University of Ibadan are about to resume protests to show displeasure with the darkness at Alexander Brown Hall and Ayodele Falase, following the restoration of power at UCH complex.
As early as 6 AM this morning, UCJ reporters observed two Police vans in front of UCH with a considerable number of personnel, not requested by the student body. They remain in front of the Hall as of this time. As of now, students from the University of Ibadan are set to move with the Aluta Bus.
Recall that on Monday, 10th of February, 2024, the Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, had a meeting with management of the University College Hospital (UCH), managing director of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC), to fashion out a solution to the epileptic power supply, which has persisted for over 100 days now.
Following this meeting, the Minister addressed protesting students and make a promise that due to his intervention power would be systematically restored to UCH within 24-48 hours. As of now, UCJUI can confirm that power has been restored to UCH Hospital complex but the College of Medicine, Students Hostels (Alexander Brown Hall & Ayodele Falase), are still in darkness.
