The Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, has directed its full-time and part-time students to proceed on a 22-day holiday to enable them to exercise their civic rights during next month’s general elections.
This was contained in a bulletin by Head, Public Relations Unit of the college, Mr Charles Oni.
According to the bulletin, the holiday will start from February 11 and end on March 4.
It also stated that hostels and lecture theatres would be under lock and key throughout the period.
The bulletin quoted the Rector of the college, Dr Margaret Ladipo, as
appealing to the students to comport themselves during the holiday.
Mixed reactions, however, trailed the announcement, as some students
said the holiday would disrupt the second semester academic calendar.
Others commended the management for being safety conscious and
allowing students, who are not residents in Lagos to travel for the
elections.
