OAU Students Ask Buhari To Probe VC - Education

Hundreds of students of Obafemi Awolowo University on Friday asked
President Muhammadu Buhari administration to probe the activities of
the Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Bamitale Omole.

The students passed the message to the President through the Minister
of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who was at the
university.
They also bombarded the minister with requests that the Federal
Government should ensure decent hostels for students on the campus.

The minister was at OAU to deliver the distinguished guest lecture,
titled 'Nexus between corruption and underdevelopment of Nigeria' at
the University's Faculty of Arts.

The students had staged series of protest against poor condition of
their hostels which led to the closure of the school by the management
late last year.

"Our halls of residence are in bad shape and my colleagues are saying
probe Omole (VC) and so on," said one of the students allowed to ask
the minister a question.

"It is not only at the national level that the government should
concentrate its fight against corruption, it should come to
universities and we welcome President Buhari's war against corruption
on OAU campus."

The entire students present applauded the students, while the minister
promised to meet with the VC to discuss the issue of students' union
leaders under suspension.
The minister urged Nigerians to support the government in the fight,
saying corruption had already started fighting back.
