  by Emmanuel Akinwale On Saturday, 23rd November, 2024, FATSSSA Press correspondent, met with the SU President at the Faculty of the Social Sciences at 12:32 pm regarding the decimation of Heritage Park. In his words, he stated that plans to decimate Heritage Park have been ongoing for a while in order to construct a new senate building. He stated further that, just like other Universities in Nigeria, the University of Ibadan wants to situate the senate building at the center of the University.  To further the cause, he stated, it would have implied the demolition of the Tekena Tamuno Building and Trenchard Hall but the demolition of the Heritage Park appears to be the safer option.

He however expressed disappointment that such an act was carried out in the middle of the night.
