IMPORTANT NOTICE ON TRAFFIC GRIDLOCK AT SCHOOL GATE

The traffic gridlock currently experienced at Oke-Odo road leading to the school gate is as a result of the closure of one side of the school gate, an effect of the reconstruction exercise being effected at the school gate.

The reconstruction exercise is an important step in ensuring the safe mobility of both staffs and students while also giving the school gate a new look and as such, we crave for your support and patience while it is being done.

We understand the discomfort which might be experienced during this period but it is important to note that this reconstruction will prove to be very pivotal when completed.

Thank you for your patience and maximum cooperation.

IMPORTANT UPDATE ON CASH WITHDRAWAL ON CAMPUS

Modern Unilorites,

We are not oblivious of the ongoing scarcity of cash on campus and and the University environment. It's a popular knowledge that is a national endemic caused as a result of the cash policy implemented by the Federal Government.

Nevertheless, we have reliably confirmed that the ATMs at JAIZ Bank along the Walkway axis is currently dispensing cash. Students are however enjoined to make use of this opportunity. Gradually, there will be an all round flow of cash on campus.

Students are urged to conduct themselves in an orderly, civil and respectful manner while withdrawing cash. As a cautionary measure, we have deployed paramilitary bodies to monitor the process and ensure that no unnecessary scene or disruption is caused.

We remain poised to the commitment of your welfarism.
