 Gbolahan Latinwo
Two hour ahead of the time scheduled for the commencement of elections, voting is yet to commence across all the thirteen faculties.

The process is expected to commence by 09:00am and end by 04:00pm according to the election guidelines released by the Electoral Commission.

But as of 10:22am, the electoral commissioners were yet to arrive and the process had yet to start across all faculties.

In some faculties, observers from the University management, agents of candidates, security personnels and electorates are already present. 

Efforts to reach out to the Electoral Commission proved abortive.
