For several hours, there was a traffic logjam on the busy expressway while the protest lasted.

According to them, the management failed to provide water and electricity for them, despite the exorbitant levy they were paying.

The students took out their empty buckets to show their grievances and sang various solidarity songs.

One of the protesters, who identified himself as Sola, said the management failed in its responsibility.

“We are paying the school for all these and yet we lack amenities, no water, no electricity, so studying is very difficult. So the school should attend to our request unless the protest continues.”

When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of the institution, Mrs Seto Olatuyi, said, “Management is working on the issues raised.”
