Olatunji Oladejo spokesperson for the university, said the fire was caused by a power surge that triggered a cooking gas canister in the common room.
Moreover, fire has razed some teaching equipment at the Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, Oyo State.
He said, “Yes, I can confirm to you that there was a fire incident last night.
“However, contrary to insinuations that the whole faculty was engulfed in fire, it is not true as the incident only affected the common room of the faculty.
“Teaching equipment were completely razed by the fire.
The affected room was completely razed as we couldn’t lay hands on anything after the incident. We thank God that no life was lost” he said.
