Video: ‘You’re intellectually bankrupt” — Atiba University DVC tells students, sparks outrage

A Deputy Vice-Chancellor (DVC) at Atiba University in Oyo State, Nigeria, has ignited public anger after reportedly describing protesting students as "intellectually bankrupt." The controversial remarks were made during a demonstration organized by students concerned about the institution's Law program.

The DVC's statement, captured in a video that has circulated online, has been widely condemned as dismissive and inflammatory. Students involved in the protest were reportedly expressing grievances related to the Law program when the deputy vice-chancellor addressed them with the harsh assessment.

The incident has led to widespread outrage, with many criticizing the DVC's approach to student grievances. Critics argue that such language is inappropriate and counterproductive, especially when addressing students who are raising concerns about their education. The university has yet to issue an official statement regarding the DVC's comments or the students' protest.
