The Bayelsa State-owned Niger Delta University (NDU) was yesterday shut down until further notice due to students’ unrest, which disrupted administrative and academic activities on the campus.

It was gathered that property worth millions of
naira were destroyed in the protest said to
have been organised by the final year
engineering students.

Sources said the students were protesting
against the management’s decision not to
allow the final year engineering students
graduate without passing the courses they
carried over from the General Studies
Department in their lower classes.

However the Vice Chancellor, Professor
Humphrey Ogoni, in a circular directed all the
students to proceed on mid-semester break
immediately to avoid any break down of law
and order on the campus.
