Students at a college in Akoka protested on Monday and Tuesday, citing poor conditions and dilapidated infrastructure on campus. The Provost, Azeez, claimed the protests were instigated by staff members seeking his position. In response, students and their leaders denied these allegations, insisting the protests were driven by genuine concerns about the state of the college facilities, including rotting hostels and inadequate sports amenities. They also criticized the Provost’s comments, affirming that their grievances were not prompted by staff but were due to longstanding issues with the college’s conditions. Staff members, including the caretaker chairman of the Non-Academic Staff Union, also rejected the claim that they were inciting the students, emphasizing that the students’ complaints were based on their direct experiences with the deteriorating infrastructure.
