ASUU members of the university, had said that the examination would be null and void if conducted and warned the students against participating in the examinations.
According to report, lecturers of the university are divided into two, those of the Congress of Universities Academics (CONUA) refused to join in the nationwide strike declared by ASUU.
But the management of the university which is bent on having a stable academic calendar had said that the examination will begin on the 14th of January despite the fact that some students have not been receiving lectures for about three months.
ASUU, in an open letter to the students signed by its chairman, Adeola Egbedokun, warned that any examination conducted by the school will be null and void.
