More
than 1, 000 students from the University of Abuja gathered at the
campus on Monday morning to protest the lack of power and water supply
they had been experiencing for three months at the permanent campus
site.
“We
are left with no choice than to come out and tell the world our
problems. We will not stop the protest unless our problems are solved,"
said theatre student Mike Ajeoja.
A
female student said she had not bathed for days because there was no
water, and revealed that they had been forced to use pure water sachets
to bathe, cook and wash clothes.
The
Information Officer of the university, Mr Waziri Garba, appealed to the
students to remain calm and assured them that the school management was
already taking steps to resolve the problem.
Baro
Ahmad from the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company in Gwagwalada,
said that it was not true that the school had no power for three months,
and stated that steady electricity will be restored to the campus by
4pm on Monday.
