EFIWE NEWS: Let's Organise Revolutionary OAU Grand Entrance, Red Carpet For You - Nigerian Students React To Kunle Adebajo's Suspension | #FreeKunleAdebajo @freecampuspress


Nigerian students react following the suspension of Campus Journalist, Kunle Adebajo, a notable/award-winning campus Journalist, a student of Law, University of Ibadan who's expected to proceed to law school this year.



Also, a body of Campus Journalists drawn across different universities in Nigeria known as "Free Campus Press Movement" has frowned against the draconic actions of the University of Ibadan management on the suspension.


In a press statement released by the group of Campus Journalists, it highlighted the group was aimed at ensuring that Press Freedom is guaranteed on campuses across Nigeria and also raising voice in unison against any attempt by University managements to victimize campus Journalists for doing what they do objectively on campuses.



While frowning at the recent development in University of Ibadan as regards the two-semesters suspension of Kunle Adebajo, the group registered their displeasure towards the actions of the management under the Leadership of Prof. Idowu Olayinka.


An excerpt of the press statement states thus, "While we are not contesting the powers of the University to discipline Students, we are very much concerned that the institution management found it very convenient to suspend Kunle Adebajo for his investigative feature titled "UI: The Irony of Fashionable Rooftops and Awful Interiors" published on Guardian Newspaper 2016 - https://m.guardian.ng/features/ui-the-irony-of-fashionable-rooftops-and-awful-interiors/"
