Transport Crisis Disrupts Learning as OAU Students Boycott Lectures
Key takeaways
  • Academic activities at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile Ife, have been disrupted following a 72-hour lecture boycott declared by students over a worsening campus transportation crisis linked to newly introduced buses.
  • The protest, which began on April 14, 2026, was organised by the Students’ Union Government in response to what it described as an “inadequate and poorly implemented” transport system tied to vehicles donated by Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu .
  • The union directed students to suspend all academic activities for three days, warning that further action, including mass protests, could follow if their demands are not addressed.
