  The management of Bowen University today closed the school indefinitely after students'protest last night. Students of the private uni. say they're protesting scarcity of electricity, water and plans by the university to improve school fees. The students say they're not being treated right

"They take the light by 8am, and bring it back by 8pm and it goes off by 11pm again. We don't have water, no socket light, while our lecturers are in AC offices and cars. We have time table for eating. 7-9am for breakfast, 12-3 for lunch and 6-8 for dinner. Most times we have classes during these periods" one student told me.

All students have been asked to leave the university...while some students who were detained last night after the riot are yet to be released. Continue...
