The University of Ibadan is set to construct a new Senate Building at Heritage Park, one of its popular recreational spots.
A university senate building is a central administrative facility that houses the university senate, governing council chamber, offices, and other necessary facilities. The senate is the university’s highest decision-making body for academic matters.
The Management’s decision to cut down rows of lined up trees at the famous Park has continued to generate flurry of reactions from alumni and students.
Heritage Park is located along Oduduwa road, opposite Queen Elizabeth Hall.
Besides a fountain being one of its distinguishing feature, the park had rows of tent trees, which served as a spot for hangouts, relaxation, recreation and reading center. It was also a habitat for birds in the University.
