       Students and lecturers at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU),
       Ile-Ife, have frowned at the confusion trailing the ongoing rain
       semester examination for 2017/2018 session. The examination has
       been on for more than 1 week amidst the ongoing strike by the
       Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) with some students
       participating and others not participating.
       It was gathered that while some lecturers in the school under
       ASUU stopped attending classes, others lecturers under the
       umbrella of Congress of Nigerian Universities’ Academics (CONUA)
       in OAU refused to join the industrial action, thereby causing
       more confusion in the school.
       A final year student of Zoology who spoke to newsmen said that
       the university management has ”purposely given him extra year”.
       According to him, all the lecturers in his department are
       members of ASUU and for that reason are not part of the ongoing
       examination in OAU whereas his colleagues in other departments
       where the lecturers are not part of ASUU are taking the exams.
       "Is that not extra year? When some of your colleagues graduate
       and you still remain in school." He lamented.
       Another final year student who simply identified himself as
       Adeola said: “The postponement is psychologically disturbing.
       They postponed exam indefinitely. This has not happened in OAU
       before.”
       One of the lecturers in the Faculty of Arts describe the ongoing
       examination as unprofessional, illegal and unsafe.
       However, when contacted, Isiaka Aransi, Dean of Students’
       Affairs said ”the university is on top of the situation”.
       Explaining how the institution will tackle the fear of spending
       an extra year among some of the finalists, he said: “No students
       will be left out without writing exam. Let them continue writing
       the ones they are writing. Every exam will be written, I can
       assure you.” He said students will write the exam before the
       next session begins.
