Governor Ibikunle Amosun has ordered the closure
of Olabisi Onabanjo University, OOU in Ago-Iwoye,
Ogun State following continued protests from
students over their tuition fees.
Adeoluwa, Secretary to State Government of the
State, the government said it had no �option
than to order the immediate closure of all the
campuses of Olabisi Onabanjo University to
protect the students and other residents of the
state and their property.�
The students, according to the government have
continued to issue threats while rejecting all
entreaties and concessions made by the
government on their various demands concerning
the recently announced reduction of school fees.
The government thereby advised all parents
whose wards are students of the university to
immediately call them to order as the government
will not tolerate any act that will disturb the
peace being enjoyed by the people of the state.
The closure is coming 24 hours after the deadline
given by the state government to the students
asking them to address the crisis surrounding the
tuition fees.
