The News Agency of Nigeria reports that more than 1,000 students gathered on the campus about 8am on Monday and barricaded road leading to the Senate building and classes.
Some of them told NAN that the protest became necessary because the school authorities had not provided power and water at the campus for three months running. Continue...
Ajeoja said they had drawn the attention of the school management to their plight, but nothing had been done to address the situation.
“We are left with no choice then to come out and tell the world our problems.
“We will not stop the protest unless our problems are solved,” he said.
A female student, who pleaded for anonymity, said she had not had her bath for some days as a result of lack of water.
According to her, some of students use sachet water to bath, cook and even wash clothes.
“We are tired of staying without water and light. We wear squeezed clothes to the classes and we do not want such situation to continue,” she added.
The Information Officer of the school, Mr Waziri Garba, confirmed the situation to NAN on telephone, saying the students were protesting lack of power and water supply in the school.
Garba, however, appealed to them to remain calm, assuring that the school management was already taking steps to resolve the problem.
Meanwhile, Baro Ahmad, the Business Manager, Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, Gwagwalada, said it was not true that the school had no power for three months running.
He blamed power outage on the campus on some electrical problems which, he said, the company was working on.
Ahmad assured the students and school management that steady power would be restored to the campus.
“By 4 p.m. today (Monday), there will be steady power supply to the permanent site,” he said.

Uni abuja is just a joke, Not a school. U'll spend 5years for a four year course there. Stupid useless school, unserious lecturers and dumb students. Dey are all dummies, except a few reasonable ones. I pray dey get serious someday and stop joking with d students future.
the issue of light and water as bn a serious issue we've been battling for almost 3mnths nw,we only use gen which is around 7pm and 12am..evriday,it asnt bn easy multitasking during ds periods,promises upon promises bt all to nothing...from a reliable source,d schul is owing nepa a huge sum of money,nw deir alternative is to tap from lokoja...
WOW, HOPE IT GETS RESOLVED 'COS THAT SOUNDS REALLY UNHEALTHY.
Have not hard your bathe for days?with such a setting am guessing cooking would now be a rigorous chore and you wonder why many of them won't make first class..."Mental exhaustion" is wht it is,! #chEezyjayne
Na waooo, what is happening to our institutions. .... Basic amenities 'Babu'
Pls oooh they should'nt cause another problem so the school won't be shut down again. I have spent 8years running a part time programme scheduled for just 5yrs. one year.., one sementer!! Imagine from 2007 till now. If not fr the love of God, I wouldn't have been in my finals..smh

Three months is whale too much! What happens to power generating sets which have found their way even in PHCN offices?
This is what happens when fabulously incompetent people are regaled in the attires of leaders. I am sure the management of the said school swim everyday in constant power and water supply while the students read with lamps and bath with their saliva. Should GEJ be lashed with the blame also!?
Btw, with the rate of protest, chaos is imminent.
Omg hisssss dis Skool dead
It's so bad what has become of our Nigerian universities dah management aint ready to take any positive step until students have protested and vandalised school properties...buh since dahz d only way dey'd listen,guess it has to continue
So if dey didnt protest, there wouldn't have been light? foolish pple.
Did they have to wait 4 a protest b4 something had 2 b done? Some dull people will insult Jonathan nw as though he's in charge of administration in d sch.
What a disgrace. Imagine this happening at the University of Nairobi or Johannesburg. This university is supposed to be the face of tertiary education in Nigeria.
Dat mr ahmad must be stupid, electrical fault 4 3 months, naija and incompetence smh
After the protest the problem will be fixed but I asure you its ust for a while. After school you will still go home to witness the same problem I wonder what they will do then. The country is a mess
300 years from now, this country called Nigeria still won't get better. It's not a curse. Smaller countries in Africa are coming to catch up with Nigeria and leave her behind.
Dats my school oo though av graduated pls Adelabu(VC) do something
Unibuja wot is wrong nw. na only una dey naija nii?
Linda na wa ooo!!! I'm @ p.syt na..does pics are old pics from d previous protest,(engineern wahala) + who is dat female studnt dat has nt had her bath?? Big lie!!! Fine we've nt had light for 3mnths now,@least we still dey see water..
hmmmm no wonder, pls they shld do something about it fast, just for the sake of the girls. plssssss
They really need to do something about it, its not fair at all
Oh plsss, shut d fuck up! N dnt eva cm hia again †̥☺ make useless comments lyk dis 1 til u learn hw †̥☺ read n write beta english
Die already with Ur stupid English am sure its ur english dat caused dis crisis #dazzlingAk#
Stupid school, going there was my biggest mistake, only runs dey knw
Na wa ooo. The school should at least provide these basic amenities for the students to learn properly. may God help us.
Being an insider, I know that this sort of issue will have everything to do with a VC who has twisted his priorities, a council more interested in construction and procurement contracts than in supervising the administration and a docile SUG. Uniabuja has been in the news too often for all the wrong reasons, lost accreditation, terrible living conditions etc. They should be in their permanent site now, abeg the FCT top guns should halt this embarrassment.
bt abeg mke unah no dy insult my Open Uni..@least we are badder dn ds..
