Students of UNILAG protested and demand that there should be a shift in the date of their examination, they also demanded for improved supply of electricity and water on campus.
Even though, the demonstration was largely peaceful, the action prevented early morning classes in some of the departments.
The students, who were to begin their examinations next week, alleged that the poor water and electricity provision would affect their performance in the tests.
A student, who craved anonymity for fear of victimisation, said the protest started about 7am at the Jaja Hall of the university.
According to him, the action would have escalated but for the timely intervention of the Dean of Students Affairs, Prof. Tunde Babawale, who promised to look into their demands.
Meanwhile, the Assistant Registrar, Information, Mr. Olagoke Oke, told our correspondent that the crisis had been resolved.
He blamed the action on “some boys” who he said did not want to sit for the forthcoming examinations.
