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.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has reacted to rumours claiming it has approved Adire as the new fabric for the NYSC uniform.
It can be recalled that the Federal Government recently announced plans to review the NYSC uniform, which sparked speculation online that Adire had already been selected as its replacement.
However, the government has clarified that no final decision has been made regarding the new uniform.
“I mentioned Adire during the discussion. I also mentioned Ankara. My intention was simply to cite examples of some of the proposals that have been put forward in the course of our consultations. It was not an announcement that any particular fabric has been adopted or approved to replace the current NYSC uniform.”
