University of Benin Shuts Down Academic Activities Indefinitely
The University of Benin (UNIBEN) has announced the indefinite suspension of all academic activities following a severe power outage affecting the campus.
This decision was made in response to ongoing challenges with electricity supply, which have significantly disrupted normal operations and posed safety concerns for students.
According to official statements from the university management, the prolonged power outage has adversely impacted essential services, which has caused the students to protest.
This situation has rendered it difficult to maintain a calm environment for teaching, learning, and research activities.
The university administration emphasized that nothing can be done in their power to address the power supply issue and restore normalcy.
However, given the unpredictable nature of the outage and its effects on campus life, a specific timeline for the resumption of academic activities has not been determined.
The suspension affects all undergraduate and postgraduate programs, including lectures, examinations, and other related activities. Students are advised to remain patient and monitor official university channels for updates and further instructions regarding the situation.

Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
