Ondo varsity shut down

Following fears of violence as a result of the #EndSARS protest, the University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED) in Ondo, has been shut down.

The EndSARS protesters had on Tuesday blocked major roads of the state, thereby creating traffic.

A circular signed by one Ezekiel Adeniran on behalf of the Registrar on Tuesday stated that the Vice-Chancellor, Adesegun Fatusi, had directed the institution’s closure.
