The management of the University of Ibadan has debunked the claim that it has fixed a date for physical resumption of academic activities.
In a Special Release published by the Directorate of Public Communications, Office of the Vice Chancellor, the management said it has not fixed any date for the physical resumption of academic activities for the rest of 2020/2021 Academic Session. Hence, publications surrounding the resumption date are not true.
Here is the Special release,
