The attention of the Management of the University of Port Harcourt Rivers State has been drawn to a trending video circulating online showing a dumpsite within the University premises.
The University management wished to state categorically that the said dumpsite is illegal and has been in existence for over a decade.
The Management has promptly visited the site and has declared it illegal, ordered its immediate closure and evacuation, and commenced appropriate sanctions against those found culpable for operating the site.
