School fees Hike:The vice-president elect of OAU Students' Union, Oladejo Funmi Olori wrote....

This press release sounds very familiar. Hope it's nt too early to state that Great Ife union is back!!!

The vice-president elect of OAU Students' Union, Oladejo Funmi Olori wrote:
Our attention has been drawn to an inconsiderate circular from the university administration that students must vacate halls of residence before 12pm on Friday, 23rd May, 2014. This circular is meant to divide our ranks and create an atmosphere of panic among Great Ife students. But we remain undaunted! We also admonish Great Ife students not to be intimidated by the empty threat of the university authority, which lacks all moral authority to issue such directive at this moment.

We should recall that during NUGA games, this same threat was issued to force Great Ife students out of their halls of residence. The short notice of evacuation led to the death of three Great Ife students. And we will not allow the repetition of such inhumane directive at this period. The leadership of the union hence directs that Great Ife students, who want to stay on campus, should take their time and avoid haphazard travels. Of course the impotency of the university threat was exposed during NUGA games when thousands of Great Awoites, Fajuyians and ETFites remained in their several halls of residence without a scratch. Great Ife residents, from Sport Hall to Angola Hall, should report any attempt of forceful eviction to the Students’ Union leadership.
No doubt, this forceful eviction notice is not disconnected from the evil plans of the university management to extort our innocent, poor parents. We also admonish our members to continually treat the current situation with uttermost maturity, which has been employed since the beginning of this struggle.
This is the same maturity that mass of students displayed today when management consciously sealed the Amphi Theatre (we saw a security officer sealing the place as students move down) in order to provoke, and then blackmail us. The congress held successfully, while the management got shamed!
The students’ Union use this opportunity to remind students that our programmes of action in resistance to the current SCHOOL FEE HIKE is still on and students need to continue to take full part as they have been demonstrating greatly. The release of the management shows that our struggles so far are just. And we will not look back until we attain victory- THE TOTAL REVERSAL OF FEES TO STATUS QUO! All roads lead to the Students’ Union Building (SUB) where we will be moving to further the protests by 7am tomorrow. Every student is implored to be a mobilizer for the mass action.
We commend the mass of students for their steadfastness and unity so far. A people together can never be defeated.
AMANDLA AWETHU… NOTHING SHALL DISCOURAGE US!!!

O.A.U Students Protest Hike In tuition fee

Students of the Obafemi Awolowo University  (OAU) have blocked the Ife-Akure highway to protest against the recent fee hikes university authorities recently implemented.
Passengers on the federal highway were stranded as the students also blocked all exit and entry routes linking Osun State to other states in the country.
The university reportedly increased the fee of newly admitted students into Clinical Sciences and Pharmacy by 267 %, Humanities/Social Sciences by 322%, and increased the fee by 253% for students admitted into Sciences.
The protesters expressed that they have negotiated with the school management to reduce the fee but they have refused to grant these requests.
We are trying our possible best to avoid confrontation, but since consultation and consolidation have failed, the whole Nigeria must hear us again as we did about three years ago. We want peace but we are not scared of crisis. We will not allow the legacy of our founding fathers to die,” said one of the protesters.
