OAU shut down following days of students' protest over school fees

Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, has been closed down indefinitely following days of students' protest over increase in their school fees which was the introduced in May.

The school administration this afternoon released a statement announcing an indefinite shutdown of the institution and ordered students to vacate its premises by Thursday afternoon, citing 'persistent disruption of normal activities and peace on campus as a result of violent demonstrations by students, led by the Student Union Executive' as their reason for shutting down the school.
"Consequently, all students are directed to vacate their Halls of Residence and the University premises immediately and not later than 12 noon on Thursday, 19th June, 2014. Parents are hereby enjoined to ensure that their children/wards comply with this directive immediately.” the statement read.

The reduction of sch fee its actually becos of the generation to come. If they do not fight now by the time our children are going to school , it will be expensive.

Our problem is wiv d government who abandoned their reponsibility to education,telling schools to fund themselves. Then I heard how much dey'r funding football!!! I love this country,yet so disappointed. Then they sit @ d CONFAB suggesting ways to reduce crime, dey have failed bcos. No-education starts it!

Someone needs 2 call out d government! Dey'r keeping quiet like education isn't important!... Those sayin d increase is little,realize dt all fingers aint equal. The Great Obafemi Awolo thought deeply about d growth of this country b4 settin up Oau,wich actually beats a lot of 500,000-paying-skul's educational standard. I have always prayed 4 the Nigerian government,but yet I say today "Nigerian Government is irresponsible"
