The Michael Okpara University, Umudike, Abia State has suspended academic activities indefinitely, after a protest by students against the increment of school fees in the early hours of Tuesday.

The Vice Chancellor of the varsity, Prof. Maduebibisi Iwe, in a statement, said that academic activities of the institution had been suspended indefinitely after the violent protest.

“This is to notify the public that the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike, Abia State woke up to experience the violation of the long-existing peace of the university this morning.

“To safeguard life and properties on campus, the university management has on behalf of the Senate ordered an indefinite shutdown of the university indefinitely.”

Reports say some miscreants hijacked the protest, destroying some of the school’s properties including carrying out an attack on the VC’s official vehicle and other officials.
