The University of Ibadan Director of Public Communication, Tunji Oladejo, has disclosed that the first semester lectures for the 2020/2021 session for students of the institution will be held online due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Oladejo made this known via a statement issued on Thursday, February 4, in Ibadan. He said the university's Senate, which is the highest decision-making organ in the institution, approved the commencement of online lectures for the first semester of the 2020/2021 academic session.

He added that the opening of the registration portal and the orientation program for the 2020/2021 session will commence on or before Saturday, 20 February 2021 for new students.
