The University of Ibadan (UI) management has announced the termination of its first semester following the ongoing strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The institution has moved activities left in the semester, especially examinations, to the second semester.
Exam papers still undone in the first semester would hold in the second semester, to bridge the time wasted.
Students mostly affected by the decision are those under the institution’s Open Distance Learning (ODL) centre.
The centre,in a statement signed by its communication officer, Dayo Olajide, said a separate timetable would be designed for the outstanding papers.
The statement reads: ”All outstanding 2016/2017 first semester examinations would conclude a week before the commencement of second semester examination.
”Apparently, the basis for this new arrangement is to save learners the hassle of coming down to complete examinations whenever the strike is called off.”
