Adeyemi College students block Akure-Ore highway over poor welfare

Students of Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo State, have blocked the Akure-Ore highway protesting against the lack of water and electricity on the campus.

The students who came out in large numbers accused the institution’s management of not showing concern about their welfare.

Motorists had to take an alternative route through Ondo town to continue their journey.

The students were said to have stormed the streets at about 6 am and halted vehicular movement.

They said they were treated unfairly despite the huge levies being collected from them.

Many of the students came out with empty buckets and used them to block the highway to show the lack of water in their hostels.

They vowed to continue the protest until the school’s management find problems of water scarcity and lack of electricity on the campus.

Men of the Nigeria Police force were seen at the scene of the protest to avoid possible breakdown of law and order.

College spokesman, Oluseto Olatuyipe, could not be reached for comments.
