The management of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) has reinstated five rusticated student.
The rusticated students are members of the university’s Student Union Government, (SUG), rusticated for allegedly leading a protest against increase in school/hostel fees.
They had staged a demonstration on November 24, 2017, over the hike, an action the school’s management said was allegedly meant to disrupt its 47th Founders’ Day lecture and 43rd convocation ceremony.
Those affected included the SUG President, Osamudiamen Ogbidi, Justus Aidenagnon, Innocent Momodu, Goodnews Ehiabhi and Patrick Majekodumi.
