It was reported that the students plea with the ice Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Teddy Addias, had yielded no positive result.
The students, in their hundreds marched against the university obnoxious policies which has rendered most of their colleagues helpless in pursuing their academic activities.

The university through its Registrar, Mr. Yousou Donald, issued a memo announcing the suspension of the scheduled examination till later date.
Efforts to reach the University Public Relations unit failed at the time of filling this report.
