Recall that Julia Blaise Blog (JBB) reported yesterday that
students Olabisi Onabanjo University, OOU, were engaging in a protest,
demanding a reduction of their school fees from Ogun state governor Ibikunle
Amosun.As you are reading this, 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 have reportedly been shot at and tear-gassed by
soldiers this morning as they marched to the Governors office. After being
tear-gassed, angry students started destroying property. 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.
