UNILORIN Postpones Reopening Of Hostels Over NASU, SSANU Strike
The management of the University of Ilorin has postponed reopening of hostels earlier scheduled for today due to ongoing strike action by the non-academic unions in the university.
The Tide source reports that UNILORIN’s Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) on February 8, joined the nationwide strike called by their national bodies.
A statement issued by Director of Corporate Affairs of the University, Mr Kunle Akogun, said the on-going strike had affected the sources of electricity and water supplies to the hostels.

“A new date for the reopening of the hostels will be announced in due course.
“We appeal to our students, on whose welfare we place a very high premium, to bear with management and await further announcements.
“Please note, however, that virtual lectures will continue as scheduled for all categories of students,” he said.
