The University of Benin has announced that it will reopen on August 11.
It should be recalled that the authorities of the institution closed recently due to student protests and unrest.
In a circular released on Wednesday, the University’s Registrar, Ademola Bobola, announced that academic activities will resume on Monday, August 12, 2024.
According to the circular, “The decision to reopen the University was made by the Senate at its meetings held on July 23 and 24, 2024, in tandem with the position of the Governing Council, critical stakeholders, and after a review of the current atmosphere in the country.
“As part of the conditions for resumption, each returning student is required to swear an affidavit of undertaking to be of good conduct while at the university.
“The affidavit must contain cardinal points, as captured in the document attached to the circular.
“Students are expected to upload the sworn affidavit on their Kofa page of the university and submit the hard copy to their departmental course adviser within two weeks of resumption.”
