The protest, led by the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Ekiti State Chapter, and the Association of Southern Nigeria Youth Congress, demanded the immediate suspension of the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Abayomi Sunday Fasina, and the removal of the university's Governing Council Chairman, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba .

- Corruption and abuse of office

- Moral decay and institutionalization of sexual exploitation and abuse

- Financial recklessness and manipulation of the Vice-Chancellorship selection process

The FUOYE Students' Union Government (SUG) had warned the NYCN against staging the protest, citing concerns over potential disruptions to academic activities. However, the protesters proceeded with their demonstration, despite the warning.

The situation remains tense, with the university authorities yet to issue an official response .
