 Management of the Obafemi Awolowo University(OAU) has shut down the institution, ordered students to vacate the school premises. The decision to shut down the institution was taken following three days of continuous protest by the students demanding the reversal of the school fees increased by the management.

According to reports from Premium Times, several staff of the university administrative office, ‘Senate building’, were still held inside the building as at 5:50 p.m. as students barricaded it to demand an audience with the Vice Chancellor, VC, and ensure a reversal of the fee hike. “The charges being paid by the OAU students were not only the lowest in the entire Nigerian University system but also the most ridiculous in the entire tertiary educational system in Africa,”Mr. Omole said while defending the hike, early June, at a press conference
