UNILORIN To Reintroduce Virtual Lectures Over Transportation Challenge

As the gridlock situation worsens, affecting the mobility of students to the institution, the management of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) says it is considering the reintroduction of virtual lectures. 

According to a statement by the Director of Corporate Affairs of the university, Kunle Akogun, in a statement made available to journalists on Tuesday, measures are in place to address the situation.

The statement read: “The management is considering the possibility of reviving the virtual lecture option, especially for large classes, to reduce the necessity of having a large number of students on the road at peak periods.

“The management is also currently engaging with the Kwara State Government on the need to conclude the Flyover construction on the Tipper Garage axis of the University Road timely and the provision of more strategic interventions to ease the burden of our students.”

It added: “Arrangements had already been concluded to bring in big buses for a massive movement of students but they could not be deployed yet due to the Flyover construction on the University Road.”

“The welfare of our students remains the mainstay of the management and this will not be compromised for any reason.”
