Fee Hike: OAU Students Threaten To Vote Out President Jonathan Next Year

Students of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife,
Osun State, have appealed to President Goodluck
Jonathan to fulfill the promise he made to them on
reduction in the fees charged by the management of
the university or be ready to lose the February 2015
presidential election.
The Student Union President, Mr. Isaac Ibikunle, and
the Secretary, Mr. Oludare Bamidele, said this in a
statement made available to our correspondent in
Osogbo on Monday.
The president had held a brief meeting with the
student union leaders when he visited the OAU to
attend a political meeting organised by some Yoruba
leaders on the campus.
Ibikunle had told our correspondent that the
President promised to act fast on the demands of
the students for reduction in the fees charged by the
management of the university.
He noted that some students from poor background
had dropped out of school because of the exorbitant
fees being charged by higher institutions.
The student stated that crime would continue to be
on the increase if education, which is the only sure
way to bridge the gap between the rich and the
poor, was priced out of the reach of poor students.
He said OAU students and the entire students all
over the country would work against the president if
he fails to fulfill the promise he made to them on the
fees and other matters relating to the education
sector.
