Students of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife on Tuesday took to the street to protest against the alleged proscription of the students’ union by the management of the institution.
After the protest, the students led by Comrade Dunsin Olowolafe addressed a press conference at the Osun State chapter of the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigerian Union of Journalists. He said: “The accommodation policy was a wicked response to the crisis of congestion on the university campus. The residential hostels which accommodated about 70 percent of the students were decongested by driving majority of the students to town/off campus, a situation which degenerated into a transportation crisis on the campus.”Olowolafe said the students who are now living in town are facing untold hardship of hike in house rent and exposed to series of crimes and attacks.
In a reaction, the university said the decision to suspend the central students union was taken in the overall interest of the majority of students.
