OAU students shut main campus gate, demand 50% tuition reduction

The students of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in the early hours of Tuesday, October 3, shut the institution’s main gate to restrict vehicular movement in protest against the recent increment in school fees.

The Nation reported that OAU management announced increased school fees on September 14, 2023.

This increase has since led to a series of discussions between the student union and the school management, with the student body demanding a significant decrease in the fees.
