Report from the University reads that,  whatever was left
in first semester examination will hold in

Moreover, students mostly affected by this decision were those under the
institution’s Open Distance Learning, ODL, centre.

semester examinations would be concluded a week before commencement of second
semester examination". As in the statement signed by the center's       communication officer, Dayo Olajide.
