The ongoing strike by the Non- Academic Staff Union of Universities may have seriously affected the students of the Obafemi Awolowo University , Ile - Ife.
Investigation shows that the majority of the students , who are currently preparing to sit their 2016 / 2017 Second Semester examinations holding in a fortnight , are at the receiving end of the union ’ s nationwide industrial action .
Many of the students who spoke to our correspondent on Monday complained bitterly about not having electricity , water and access to the university ’ s library and health centre due to the strike .
In the absence of electricity , they are forced to study with the aid of candles and torches . Some of them have had to endure long spells in the cold harmattan weather to read under the solar energy -powered street lamps on the university campus.
In a statement issued by their Acting Coordinator and Secretary , Dunnex Samuel and Damilola Amethyst , respectively , the students accused the school management of insensitivity .
When contacted, the Chairman of Non -Academic Staff Union of Universities , OAU branch , Comrade Wole Odewunmi, said that the striking non -academic workers in the university could hardly help the situation .
Meanwhile,the Public Relations Officer of OAU , Mr . Biodun Olarewaju , appealed to the students to bear with the university management .
