Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Professor Sulyman Age Abdulkareem, has said that the university is yet to announce its resumption date.
Speaking to journalists in Ilorin on Monday, the VC said contrary to the rumour being peddled, the university has not fixed a date for resumption of academic activities.

He said, “UNILORIN will remain closed to students pending the directives of constituted authorities,” adding that the university was prepared to welcome its students back to campus to complete the 2019/2020 academic session.
“We have made every arrangement to ensure that the campus is safe and conducive for members of the university community, ” he said.
Recall that the vice chancellor had said that the university would hold 70 per cent of its lectures virtually upon resumption of academic activities to prevent the gathering of large group of students at a spot.
Abdulkareem added that arrangements were also ongoing in the UNILORIN to process the admission of new students, describing the institution as the university of first choice and a training field for leaders.
