Ogunmodede maintained that the decision for the extension was contained in a statement signed by the University’s Registrar, Mr. Mufutau Adesina Ibrahim, entitled “Resumption of academic activities” and released to journalists in Ekiti State by the Public Relations Officer of the University, Mr. Foluso Ogunmodede”. 

He revealed that FUOYE had last month complied with the Federal Government’s directive that students of tertiary institutions should vacate their schools ahead of the nation’s general election.

Ogunmodede in his statement explained that the shift in resumption date of March 14 as earlier announced by the University to March 20, was predicated on a shift of the governorship and the states’ assembly elections from March 11 to March 18, 2023 by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Ogunmodede, however, said the University management has now approved the shift in resumption date of March 14 to March 20 following the rescheduled governorship and the states’ houses of assembly elections from March 11 to March 18 as announced by INEC.

It reads: “following the postponement of the gubernatorial and the states’ houses of assembly elections from Saturday March 11 to Saturday March 18, 2023 by INEC, I hereby write to convey the University’s management’s decision that the resumption date has been extended to Monday, 20th March, 2023.

“The University’s management has also decided that with effect from Tuesday, 21st March to Saturday, 25th March, 2023 there will be an intensive physical revision exercise to prepare students adequately for the forthcoming 2022/2023 first semester examinations”.
