Students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo state have come out in their hundreds to protest the “NO SCHOOL FEE NO EXAM POLICY” introduced by the school management in the beginning of the second semester.

Student’s who came out in their Numbers were seen carrying sticks, walking in numbers, burning tires on the street while expressing displeasure over the policy.

WITHIN NIGERIA gathered that the policy will restrict student’s who are yet to pay their Tuition fee for the 2020/2021 academic year from writing the second semesters examination which commenced today.

A 400 level Student of Mass Communication, Joseph Babatunde who spoke to WITHIN NIGERIA said that the management was expected to have implemented the policy through other means and not restricting students from sitting for the second semester examination.

“There’s a way things should be done. The management should have found other means of implementing this policy to avoid this protest. The management should have pushed it to the clearance period since students cannot avoid clearing their results before graduating. When it’s the clearance period, student’s won’t shout nor complain and will have no choice but to pay up. Actions like this demands wisdom”

“Imagine if the Management have implemented wisdom on this issue, the school environment will be at peace. The management cannot tell us that they don’t know students will protest. Application of force isn’t needed, you can’t keep going the usual way and expect a different result. It is unfortunate that the management has not learnt from the 2019 protest which is not the first of its kind in this institution” he said.

AAUASU DISTANCE SELF A DAY TO PROTEST

The Adekunle Ajasin University Student Union in a press release on Sunday said the union was not involved in planning any protest, the union also said it was insensitive to protest, connoting their unacceptance for the protest

Part of the circular read;

“The students union leadership under comrade Ogunsanmi Kolade, wishes to inform the students populace that the union is not yet involved in the planning protest currently waving on social media as information reaching us has it that some unidentified person’s are mobilizing students for protest on issue relating to the examination bid to commence tomorrow, 22nd November, 2021

“We advise student’s to distance themselves from any protest that does not involve the students Union. The students community should remain calm and prepare for their examinations and those with their Tuition fee should endeavor to pay and Carry out all necessary registrations in due course”

MANAGEMENT BOWS TO PRESSURE, CANCELS POLICY

The management of Adekunle Ajasin University have canceled the ” NO SCHOOL FEE, NO EXAM POLICY”

In a circular obtained by this reporter, the management directed all students to be allowed to sit the first semester examinations for the 2020/2021 academic session

The circular reads;

“The management received and considered the passionate plea of the student Union leadership on the above subject matter, management has directed that all students be allowed to sit for the first semester examinations for the 2020/2021 academic session

For emphasis, 100 level Students who are yet to complete the processes of getting their matriculation numbers are to use their jamb registration Numbers to sit for their examinations. However all students are still enjoined to complete their registration processes before conclusion of their examinations”

Our reporter observed that a protest of this nature occurred in 2019 where 200lv Students were hindered from writing their Computer Based Test (CBT) without payment of Tuition fee.

All these occured a year after students protested the 500% increase of the institution Tuition fee
