Osun State University, UNIOSUN students protested ‘No Tuition, No Exam’ policy. We could not pay because the state government
owed our parents salaries.
Students of the Osun State University (UNIOSUN)
, College of Education, Ipetu Ijesa Campus yesterday protested against the institution’s
decision not to allow students defaulting in the
payment of their school fees to participate in the
semester examination which commenced on
Monday.
It was reported, that some of the students were
prevented from writing some courses on Monday
but the students rejected the policy on Tuesday
and interrupted the examination.
Some of the students told our correspondent
that they could not pay because the state
government owed their parents salaries. They
said the schools used to allow them to take
exams and after that, students would pay but it
was surprising that the policy has changed when
the state government had stopped paying
salaries.
It was gathered that the management invited
policemen to come and quell the protest and this
nearly resulted into a fracas.
