The students in their numbers afterwards matched on to the main administration block of the university where more than 20 cars belonging to the university’s authorities were greatly damaged as the reception of the main administration block was totally vandalized.
After all the damages, the institution was closed down and the authorities rebuilded to pave way for grievances to be addressed.
However, last week, the Academic Board chaired by the Vice Chancellor announced a new academic calendar for the University following the disturbances.
