There was pandemonium as students of the
Osun State University, today marched to the streets to protest N10,000
late registration fee imposed by the management of the school.
The
Student Joint Campus Committee, Osun State University, Osogbo urge the
vice chancellor of the institution, Professor Labode Popoola to remove
the N10,000 charge for late registration by students.
According
to the students “The management of the institution closed the school
portal and reopened it after much pleading but the management added a
sum of N10,000 as a penalty for the late registration. The
students pleaded that the management of the institution should consider
the country's present economic condition and reverse its decision. “The
economy of this nation is biting harder on our parents. The school
management should consider the students.”
“The staggering figure
in the wake of this new development is that the students (almost
everybody) are yet to complete their course registrations before the
sudden closure of the portal in December, 2016”.
“There are fresh
students who had barely settled down before the portal was closed in
the same month, leaving them unaware of the school system. The entire
students found it difficult to believe that the management would take
such decision as it was alien to us. We thereby seek the cooperation of
the VC to spare N10,000 late registration penalty”.
The students
also wrote a letter to the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly,
Mr Najeem Salawu in which they urged him to intercede for them.
Meanwhile,
the VC had earlier expressed worry that the students were in the habit
of not paying school fees at the appropriate time and that some of them
were indebted to the university to the tune of N2billion.
