The Senate of the
University of Port Harcourt may reopen the institution soon if the school
environment is conducive for learning, an official has said.
News
Agency of Nigeria report continues:
The
Deputy Registrar (Information) of the university, Williams Wodi, said this in
an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Port Harcourt on Friday.
He
said the Senate, which met recently, only deliberated on results and
administrative matters.
“The
Senate of the university will meet at the appropriate time and when they meet,
if the school environment is conducive, they will fix a resumption date.
“But
for now, the last meeting they held considered results only – which means that
they did not fix a resumption date based on the variable information available
to them.
“The
Senate meets almost every month, and also meet in emergency session and extra
ordinary session if there is any reason for such meeting.
“So
next time they meet, if they feel it is appropriate and the time is right, they
will direct us to announce the resumption of the university,” he said.
The
school was closed on April 11, after students protested “no tuition no
examination” policy, which compelled defaulting students to repeat a whole
academic session.
The
violent protest led to the death of a final year student, Peter Ofurum, who was
of the Faculty of Management Sciences.
The protesting students
destroyed properties.
