Students of the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, went on a rampage on Tuesday, damaging cars, buildings and other properties on campus due to poor power supply at the institution.
Lectures have been suspended in the university since June 6 after the Student Union Government declared that students would no longer attend classes until the school authorities resolve the power supply challenges. The students, who locked up the lecture halls, held rallies to protest against the situation on Monday but the situation degenerated in the night, giving way to violence . It was learnt that there is hardly any power supply from the national grid in the hostels, while the generators provided by the school management currently supply power for just two hours each day. When our correspondent visited the school on Tuesday, policemen were seen at strategic locations on the campus. There was extensive damage to buildings in different parts of the campus – particularly the main hall and library. Glass windows in the buildings were smashed, while some of the doors were forced open. The security office was also vandalised. The female hostels and staff quarters were also affected with some some street lights and other infrastructure on campus also damaged by the rampaging students. Our correspondent observed that the students, many of who wore masks, also vandalised some vehicles in the process. The Public Relations Officer, UNEC, Mr. Gabriel Onah, informed our correspondent that about 12 vehicles belonging to the school were damaged. No arrest has been recorded as of the time our correspondent visited the campus. Officials of the SUG declined to comment on the incident, but some students, who did not wish to be named, explained that the management of the school refused to listen to their complaints.
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.

Mallam Nuhu Ribadu on President Goodluck Jonathan:
"People say a lot about him (President Goodluck Jonathan) that is not true. For instance, I don’t think that a single act of corruption can be traced to him as an individual. I know that he is the only president in recent years who did not allocate a single oil bloc to anybody, not to talk of himself. And these are the areas where you can tell corruption in its true colour. He did not allocate oil bloc to himself, family or friends up till now. He also did not give a single marginal field to himself or anybody else even though he is the only president that comes from the Niger Delta where the oil is coming from.......I know for a fact that President Jonathan does not have a single property anywhere abroad or any huge business in Nigeria. He does not own a university and none of his children are schooling abroad. It is therefore so unfair the way he is being painted because of politics."
