President of the Students’ Union, Mr. Olateju Oladimeji, lamented that the union had written the authorities over the problem but that there had been no positive response.

He said: “We have been living on the campus without electricity and water for the past three weeks. Sanitary situation on the campus is currently at its lowest and we notified the school authority, but it refused to take any action. The management is insensitive to our plight.”
