Students protest poor facilities at Federal University Oye-Ekiti
Students of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, on Monday barred their colleagues and staff from entering the school premises while expressing rage over the dearth of learning facilities in the institution.
The restive students began their protest in the early hours of Monday by blocking the entrance to the campus, vowing to continue the protest until their demands were met. Speaking to journalists on the demands by the students, the Public Relations Officer of the Students Union Government, Omofoye Adetola, said it was the resolution of the SUG to stage a peaceful protest in making their demands.
“The management is right in nonpayment of school fees, but we have been appealing to them to pay promptly and they have been responding well for the past two weeks. We urge the management to review the payment of the fees to assist the students.” He said serious efforts had been made to improve on the school facilities, but protocol had to be followed as demanded by the Federal Ministry or Education.
He, however, warned that students who failed to pay their fees would not be allowed to take the examinations.
