In the early hours of this morning, students at the College of Science and Technology in Yola staged a peaceful protest in response to ongoing issues with electricity and water supply. The demonstration, primarily led by hostel residents, was sparked by two weeks of persistent power outages, which have severely impacted the availability of water on campus.

The protesters, Baba lastiri one of the Student expressing their frustration, called on the Adamawa State Government and the college’s management to urgently address the situation. The lack of electricity has not only deprived students of drinking water but also hindered their ability to carry out basic daily activities, such as bathing.

In previous instances, students have had to venture outside the school premises in search of water, but the current situation has reached a breaking point, prompting this morning’s demonstration. The students are urging the authorities to take immediate action to restore both power and water supplies to the campus.

Prof Mohammed Tangos
Said the electricity have been restored and management meeting would be held before to formally address media on the resolution of the institution.
