The statement read: “With full realisation of the import and impact of the various Unions within the Nigerian university system, the University Management has decided to elongate the mid-semester break by four (4) weeks.
Students are therefore directed to continue the mid-semester break for four weeks beginning from Monday, April 11, 2022.
We wish our esteemed students a productive and more refreshing break,” the statement concluded.
