The authorities of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile – Ife, have announced Sunday, 1st October, 2017, as the new resumption date for the second semester as against 24th September, 2017 earlier announced.

A release by the Public Relations Officer of the University, Abiodun Olarewaju, stated that the new date was necessitated by the parental desire of the University management to make the Students halls of residence more conducive for habitation.

Accordingly, students are hereby advised to come into residence on Sunday, 1st October while academic activities for the second semester will commence on Tuesday, 3rd October, 2017.

We also wish to encourage our students to make the semester ‘aluta free’ by shunning any act or utterance that is capable of igniting a situation that can truncate a smooth academic calendar for the second semester.

We wish all our students a safe trip to the campus and a successful semester.
