The management of the school reached a decision to shut down the school after persistent protest by some of its workers.

Dotun Awoyemo, who is the Registrar of the institution confirmed the news in a telephone conversation with Punch.

He said, “We have shut down the university indefinitely pending the time that we will resolve issues with our workers – Non-academic Staff of University (NASU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (SSANU).”

“We have asked our newly admitted students to go home and postponed the resumption of old students indefinitely.”
