Students of the Olabisi Onabanjo University, OOU, are currently protesting in
the state, demanding a reduction in their school fees. The students have
barricaded the Presidential boulevard, the route leading to the office of Governor
Ibikunle Amosun, saying they will not leave until the governor, who is said to be
on his way to his office, addresses them.
The students were reportedly shot at and tear-gassed by soldiers this morning as
they marched to the Governors office.
After being tear-gassed, angry students started destroying public property. They
had initially embarked on a peaceful protest, but turned violent after the teargas.
The aggrieved students are demanding a further reduction in their school fees
days after Governor Amosun announced a reduction in school fees and said it
would take effect from next academic session.
The students of the state owned school say they are not satisfied with the
reduction, as it’s still too high and they want the new school fees to take effect
from the current academic session.
