University of Abuja students block Abuja roads in protest

The students of University of Abuja this afternoon protested against the suspension of four courses run by the institution by halting traffic flow on the Umaru Musa Yar'adua expressway in Abuja.

The Federal Government had on Tuesday suspended some courses in the university. These courses include Medicine, Veterinary medicine, Engineering and Agriculture.


The departments offering these courses have failed to get accredited by the National Universities Commission and many students have therefore been unable to graduate from them for years.



The protesting students obstructed traffic on the expressway outside the permanent site from the early hours of today. The expressway is one of the major entry routes into Abuja and also leads also the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.

Traffic to and from Abuja on that axis was halted for hours and many motorists had had to turn back and seek alternative routes into the city.

  8. Nigeria instead of suspending looting government officials, you are handicapping your future by hindering your youth's advancement in academia. This is sad, no wonder those who can afford it travel abroad. Truly Nigerian educational standard and system is a joke.It is sad that in a country that puts education first,their youths aren't even allowed to graduate.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again.. The pple I blame is all of those that voted for 'the man, and not the party'. PDP has never produced any good thing for this country. Go to any state/LG and verify. Suffices to say that GEJ is clueless..

    God help Nigeria.. obviously we can't help ourselves!!

  17. That Glorified Secondary School Uniabj shldnt be a university atall. It shld be called a Glorified Secondary School fullstop infact it shld be close down. Cos i cnt imagine how a school like That can be so dirty right from the old place @ gwagwalada. it looks like one of d community school in my interior village of ikot abasi. infact my state gov wunt even allow such school to be in the city. From the gate of d parmanet site,it looks like uni bt inside is an apology, uncompleted structures all over then you start wondering how are these students being thought?? in such an enviroment??? The minister of education n NUC hv to do somtin. I watched d VC on AIT news Jeeeezzzz d man looks,talk,and worst of all behaves like Argboro. The students self they no even resemble students atalllll kai. Them tooo slack for my liken. 1 out of 100% behave like people way they university (English wise)the rest, i no know where they come out from. Ms Tee
