"Senate noted that the problem of poor municipal services is a national issue that governments at both state and federal levels are addressing.
"However, in order to forestall a further breakdown of law and order on campus, Senate resolved to take the following decisions until the
situation normalises: "All academic activities on campus are hereby
suspended with immediate effect. The university is therefore closed with immediate effect."
