This decision by the University follows the just concluded 2017 Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, strike.

According to the tertiary institution, whatever was left in 2016/17 first semester examination will now hold in second semester, to bridge the time wasted.

“All outstanding 2016/2017 first semester examinations would concluded a week before commencement of second semester examination."
