According to reports, the students are protesting over lack power and water supply to the permanent campus site of the university.
It was gathered that no fewer than 1,000 students gathered on the campus about 8am on Monday and barricaded road leading to the Senate building and classes.
Some of the students told newsmen that the protest became necessary because the school authorities had not provided power and water at the campus for three months running.
Mr Mike Ajeoja, a Theatre student, said those of them living in hostel at the permanent site had no power and water for the past three months.
Ajeoja said they had drawn the attention of the school management to their plight, but nothing had been done to address the situation.
"We are left with no choice then to come out and tell the world our problems.
"We will not stop the protest unless our problems are solved," he said.
A female student, who pleaded for anonymity, she stated that she had not had her bath for some days as a result of lack of water.
According to her, some of students use sachet water to bath, cook and even wash clothes.
"We are tired of staying without water and light. We wear squeezed clothes to the classes and we do not want such situation to continue," she added.
The Information Officer of the school, Mr Waziri Garba, confirmed the situation when contacted on telephone.
