The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole, SAN, and the management of the University of Ilorin have expressed great concern on the pain and the hardship that students and staff were going through every morning and evening on their way to and from the campus.
This is contained in a statement signed by Mr Kunle Akogun, Director, Corporate Affairs, University of Ilorin.
According to him, this issue of inadequate transportation leaves many stranded every morning and evening during peak hours.
“Even the injection of more buses to the campus route has not achieved any tangible result as the nationwide fuel scarcity has compounded the situation, thereby rubbishing such intervention.
“In order to mitigate the effect of this unfortunate situation on our students especially, the management has instructed the adjustment of the lecture timetable to make it more flexible.
“Also, we have renewed our zoom licences to activate the virtual lecture option recently approved by the Vice Chancellor.
“While further mitigation steps are being considered, the management appeals to all for your continuous understanding, as everybody knows that the factors responsible for the present situation are not peculiar to the University of Ilorin,” he said.
