FUOYE was on September 11 closed down indefinitely due to a bloody students’ protest which resulted into the killing of two students of the school, Okonufua Joseph and Kehinde Dada on September 10, by security officials who allegedly shot live bullets at the students for being allegedly violent during the protest.
The students had protested against incessant blackout in the surrounding communities of the twin campuses of FUOYE.
