The University of Benin has enacted a new policy banning the use of hot plates, ring boilers, and gas cookers in its hostels to address rising energy costs.

This decision follows a significant increase in the university’s electricity bill, which escalated from N88 million to N250 million monthly due to a dispute with the Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC).

The heightened billing led to the disconnection of the university’s two campuses, triggering student protests on July 3 after prolonged power outages and reliance on generators.

In response to the crisis and subsequent closure of the university to maintain order, the university management, led by Registrar Ademola Bobola, has issued a new circular detailing the conditions for the institution’s reopening.

Key among these conditions is a mandate requiring students to sign a new affidavit of good conduct upon their return. This affidavit will serve as a commitment to adhere to the university’s rules and regulations.

Additionally, students must settle any outstanding levies before resuming classes. Proof of payment will be necessary to gain entry into examination halls.

The university administration has emphasized strict monitoring to ensure compliance with this policy.

Students are also reminded to avoid any behavior that contravenes university regulations, including participating in unauthorized assemblies or demonstrations.

By implementing these measures, the University of Benin aims to stabilize its energy expenses and ensure a disciplined academic environment.
