The management of the University of Ilorin has

medical examination with immediate effect in order to prevent the spread of coronavirus
on campus.
The Director of Centre for International Education
(CIE) of the institution, Prof. Felicia Olasheinde-Williams, disclosed this in
Ilorin on Monday in a statement.
The statement said the directive to the foreign
students became imperative in view of the outbreak of coronavirus and to assist
the institution to know their status as they return back to the campus.
She gave the directive in a letter addressed to the
international students.
Olasheinde-Williams said all returning international
students must proceed to the university clinic for medical examination so as to
deter the spread of the virus within and outside the campus.
According to her, “Note that this medical test is
an important requirement to maintaining your studentship with the university.
“As such, you are enjoined to adhere strictly to
the directive immediately on your arrival.”
