The students of the University of Lagos was said to have started a protest on Wednesday 6th April, 2016. According to http://thenationonlineng.net/no-light-no-exams-say-unilag-students/.

The students were said to have marched round the school, with green leaves, shouting and demanding that the university authority provide them with amenities such as stable power supply and water supply which are basic amenities. They complained that there was incessant power outage and no water and they need those amenities in place before their exams commence on 18th April, 2016.

They were said to have barricaded the school gate and restricting vehicular movement. Police vehicles were said to have stationed at the gate.

The protest continued till Friday 8th April, 2016 and a result of the recurring protests by the students, over water and power outage, the University management announced an immediate closure of the school indefinitely. http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/unilag-shut-indefinitely-over-protests/141564.html 

The school (UNILAG) was supposed to commence their exams on 18th April, 2016 before this protest began. 

One would then ask? How can the students read and prepare for their exams if there is no power supply or how will they survive without water? 

And then another set would ask, which is better? is it an indefinite strike situation whereby students are kept years longer than their graduating year and kept out of school to roam about the streets without any resumption date in sight, or managing to cope with the lack of amenities and write their exams and graduate?

Which do you think?
