University of Port Harcourt to Re-open June 19th
The University of Port Harcourt (Uniport) will re-open for the completion of first semester on Sunday, June 19th 2016.
This was published on Uniport’s website on Friday, June 10th 2016.
Recall that on April 11th, some students of the university protested over a “No Tuition, No Examination” policy, which compelled defaulting students to repeat a whole academic session. This resulted in the closure of the university by its management.
The violent protest led to the death of a final year student, Peter Ofurum, who was of the Faculty of Management Sciences.
The students had demanded the withdrawal of the policy, which they argued, was unfair to the poor.
