Angry students of the Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) are staging a bellicose protest, authoritatively mandating a downwards review of their school fees.
The student have blocked the Presidential Boulevard which leads to Ogun state Governor Ibikunle Amosun's office, insisting that they will only leave after an address by the number one citizen.
Student Pulse amassed that the protest, coming just days after the Ogun state Amosun, promulgated an across board reduction in tuition fees of all state owned tertiary institutions, went truculent after soldiers allegedly fired at them.
The tear-gassing exasperated the students who commenced ravaging public properties, including cars.
Amosun had on Tuesday approved an incipient tuition fee regime, efficacious from the 2014/2015 academic but the students have reservation about the 'reduction'.
One faction of students want the incipient regime to commence from the 2013/2014 session, arguing that any fee above N50,000 was still too high while some are satiated with the reduction.
The discord among the students of sundry institutions in Ogun led to violence on Tuesday, with a number of students left injured.
It will be recalled that Lagos State University (LASU) students repudiated Governor Babatunde Fashola’s tuition fee reduction, eventually coercing him to to plenarily revert to the old school fees after a 3-year struggle.
