implement the order with immediately effect, saying it was done to
forestall breakdown of law and order.
Speaking through a statement signed by Secretary to State Government
,Taiwo Adeoluwa, the governor said the decision to shut the university
was taken in the interest of peace and order.

their various demands concerning the recently announced reduction of
school fees", Amosun said.
