Uniosun Ipetu-ijesa Campus In Turmoil Today - Education

UNIOSUN Ipetu-Ijesha Campus, is certainly not having the best of times today.

In the spirit of Aluta and solidarity, the angry students ensured a
total lockdown of vehicular movement to and fro the campus premises.

According to an eyewitness, neither the lecturers nor students were
granted access into the school.

Trouble started yesterday when some of the defaulting students were
sent out of the exam hall for non-payment of the tuition fee.
Initially it was considered a mere threat by the students until the
authorities made good their promise.

Over 70% of the students were affected by the school's decision and
this resulted in a showdown which could best be described as "action
packed" .

Those affected were sent out of the halls because they are yet to pay
their school fees, or unable to provide evidence of payment for this
session

In the defence of the students, the union leaders argued the
authority's decision was harsh, unruly and selfish since the students
would still pay the said tuition by whatever means necessary.

Most affected are the final year students as that meant an automatic
extra year for them, what a way to go.

Considering the economic situation of the country, we need not go far
as to why the school is in such mess. Presently, workers in osun state
are being owed over 4 months salary with no hope in sight. This cash
drought hasnt left the university's coffers healthy either. On either
sides, money is lacking.

Having said that, it is still humanly possible for the school
management to cope even with the non-payment of student tuition rather
than opting to send the students out of the exam hall because most
certainly, they would still have to pay
However, i humbly plead with the student representatives to give peace
a chance. Breaking bottles, locking gates, barricading routes wont
give a lasting solution.
