Following protest that left some students of University of Uyo dead, and scores injured, while property worth millions of naira were destroyed, authorities of the school and students have been pointing accusing fingers at each other on who should be blamed for everything that happened.

Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Comfort Ekpo, has insisted that the school management cannot provide buses to transport the over 6,000 students from the town campus to the permanent site in Nwaniba, but the students alleged she has a commission and was profiteering from the transport arrangement on ground.

Fielding questions from journalists in Uyo, Ekpo said it was inability of the management to cater for the transportation needs of the students that made it engage the services of some private transport companies that charge N200 to take students to the permanent site and bring them to the main campus.

On their part, the students claimed that the transporter was yet to deliver the vehicles promised when the VC asked for the upward review of the fares.
