Reports reaching us now confirms that the VC elect, professor Elujoba has officially been confirmed by the Presidency. He immediately pronounced a resumption date which is 7th of August for Freshmen to start moving back into their halls of residence. Registration will continue on Monday 8th of August and will be on for a week, while stalites are to return to halls of residence on the 14th of August and full academic work will kick off on the Monday, the 15th of August. When asked why the resumption would take another two weeks, he said and I quote 'the dates I'm giving are not confirmed yet, I'm going to meet with the appropriate bodies tomorrow to get something solid, we will need some time to put some mechanisms in place to make sure the session will be hitch free hence the two weeks'
By 'appropriate bodies' here we believe he is referring to the Senate.
For those who didn't know, Prof Elujoba the new acting VC of OAU flew to Abuja this morning from the alakia Ibadan airport and as this is going out we believe he is on his way back to Ibadan.
Hopefully they will have a Senate meeting truly tomorrow morning and we will get an update concerning resumption.
