Students of Obafemi Awolowo University in Osun State took to the varsity’s gate today to voice their disapproval of the recent tuition fee increase.
The protest, which was organized by a group of concerned students, saw hundreds of participants, carrying placards with various demands.
The students expressed their grievances regarding the sudden and significant rise in tuition fees, which they argue places an undue financial burden on them and their families.
They called for the university administration to reconsider this decision and engage in transparent dialogue with students to address their concerns.
The students, who stormed the varsity premises began the protest early Tuesday morning carrying placards reading “When I dey pay 20k, I dey borrow money. Where you wan make I 90k? #FeeMustFall”, “I cannot afford to drop out. #FeeMustFall”, “My Mama dey sell Fufu, my papa dey ride Okada. Where you won make I see 90k? #FeeMustFall.”
