After the University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED), Ondo, hiked tuition fees by some 120 per cent, the school management took another step.
The resumption for the 2021/2022 academic session has been put off until further notice.
Returning students of the state-owned institution alleged that the second move was targeted at a plan by the students to protest the hike in school fees.
A circular to students and staff, which was signed by Ezekiel Adeniran for the school’s registrar, read:
“This is to inform all staff and students of the University of Medical Sciences, Ondo that the university management, on behalf of the Senate, has approved that the resumption date for the 2021/2022 academic session for all returning students of the University is postponed indefinitely.
“Therefore, by this circular, all returning students are directed to vacate the university campus and their respective halls of residence within the next 48 hours (that is Thursday 11th November 2021).
“A new resumption date will be communicated as appropriate.”
