OAU students declare 72-hour lecture boycott over transportation challenges

Students of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) have declared a 72-hour boycott of lectures in protest against ongoing transportation difficulties on campus.
The protest follows persistent complaints about inadequate transport services, rising costs and delays that have reportedly affected students’ ability to attend classes on time.
According to reports, the students say the situation has disrupted academic activities and placed additional financial strain on many of them.
They are calling on the institution’s management to urgently address the transportation challenges by improving shuttle services, regulating fares and ensuring better accessibility across the campus.
Student leaders warned that further actions may be taken if their demands are not met within the stipulated period.
Observers say the development highlights growing concerns over campus infrastructure and student welfare, stressing the need for swift intervention to restore normal academic activities.
