Recall that CAMPUS FOCUS had earlier reported that UI Management debunked a publication which was trending on social media that the Institution has allocated Students into their respective Halls of Residence for them to resume back to Campus.

However, in a Management meeting of the University held on Monday, the University stressed that all lecture should continue online.

The statement read, “Following the release of the academic calendar for the 2020/2021 session, the Senate of the University of Ibadan, at its meeting, held on Monday, 22 February, 2021 reiterated its earlier decision that lectures for the first semester of the 2020/2021 academic session will only be delivered online.

“Consequent upon the above, students are not expected to be on campus until the second semester. Parents and guardians should kindly note.”
