The chairman of governing council, Dr Tunji Abayomi, after a meeting with leaders of the students unions and government officials said the university was facing financial crunch hence the increase.

Abayomi, who was accompanied by the institution’s Vice Chancellor, Prof Igbekele Ajibefun, warned that if the tuition was not increased, it could lead to the collapse of the university in no distance time, and called on the students and parents to show understanding in order to move the school to a greater height.

But the SUG President, Olawale ljanusi, said that the protest was to show their displeasure over the over 500 percent increment by the council, vowing that they “would continue the protest until the state government intervene and save the ugly situation.”

“Base on the reality of fact staring at us in the face, the Union proposed 30% increment (i.e.) for incoming students. The returning students should maintain the status quo of last fee paid.

“No student should resume and no student should pay a dime. United we Stand divided we pay exorbitant fee,” Ijanusi said.

The state government insisted that the N30,000 paid by the students was no more realistic in the face of the economic reality in the country.

Information and Orientation Commissioner, Yemi Olowolabi, said that the decision to increase the fee was that of the institution governing council.

Olowolabi added that the state government inherited a crisis situation from the last administration.
