Students of the Olabisi Onabanjo University, OOU, are
currently protesting in the state, demanding a reduction in
their school fees. 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 were reportedly shot at and tear-gassed by
soldiers this morning as they marched to the Governors
office.
After being tear-gassed, angry students started destroying
public property. They had initially embarked on a
peaceful protest, but turned violent after the teargas.

in their school fees days after Governor Amosun
announced a reduction in school fees and said it would
take effect from next academic session.

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.
The protest started yesterday and continued this
morning…
