In actual fact, lectures are ongoing and students are being attended to by lecturers in their respective departments.
“In view of the foregoing, parents, guardians, alumni and friends of the University are assured of uninterrupted academic calendar, as our students are advised to go about their normal academic activities because there is no cause for concern or alarm.
