Michael Okpara University, Umudike, Abia State has suspended indefinitely its ongoing academic activities following the protest by students against the increment of school fees in the early hours of Tuesday.
A statement by the Vice Chancellor of the school, Prof. Maduebibisi Iwe, stated that academic activities of the institution had been suspended indefinitely after the violent protest.
The school management advised all the students to vacate the university premises immediately.
VOP News gathered that some miscreants reportedly hijacked the protest thereby destroying some of the school’s properties including carrying out an attack on the VC’s official vehicle and other officials.
A computer science student told news men that the school had insisted that students would not be allowed to write the first semester examinations should they not pay up the recently increased tuition fees.
