The Vice Chancellor of University of Ilorin, Unilorin, Kwara State, Professor Abdulganiyu Ambali, has given Fulani herdsmen encroaching into the institution’s land a seven-day ultimatum to leave.
Ambali issued the ultimatum during a meeting he held with the representatives of the herdsmen and other stakeholders on the campus, on Tuesday.
The Vice Chancellor noted that the presence of herdsmen was a violation of the laws governing the institution.
According to Ambali, “Your activities are affecting our research works. Plants grown for research works are being destroyed, slowing down the pace of research work.
“We must ensure we do not hinder and frustrate each other, as we are members of the same society.
“People are building permanent structures on our land. When we went round, we counted about 16 structures.
“We want to use these plots for the purpose for which the university was established, hence, the need for this meeting.”
