- Students demanded reversal of the fees
- Boycotted classes
Students of the University of Ibadan, Oyo State, have commenced another protest over the increase in their school fees.
This is following a circular released on Thursday by the council’s secretary, G.O. Saliu, confirming the council’s endorsement.
The circular stated that the university governing council had “considered the reviewed schedule of levies for newly admitted and returning undergraduate students in the 2023/2024 academic session and approved it as recommended by the university Senate.”
The circular further noted, “Consequently, students who are yet to pay and complete their registration exercises are advised to do so on or before Wednesday, September 4, 2024, to enable departments to download lists of registered students in preparation for the first semester examination.”
In a swift reaction, students have expressed their displeasure by gathering in large numbers from their various hostels, chanting solidarity slogans as they march across the campus.
The students demanded reversal of the fees and the shutdown of the school fees portal within 24 hours while the student Union called for a total boycott of classes.
