Students of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State, are currently protesting the hike in their school fees.
The protesting students have locked down major buildings in the
institution, with principal officers of the university locked up in the
senate building.
One of the protesters has this to say “We have locked everywhere, including the
senate building, computer
building, and we are presently blocking the school gate. We are ready
for the school management; we don’t care whatever happens to them there.
The VC too is around, we want them to also feel what we are going
through”.OAU recently increased the fees of newly admitted students from
N37,150 and N42,150 to N 82,400, N92,700 and N95,700 (acceptance fee
inclusive), depending on faculties.
The fees of old students of the institution were also increased from
