The leadership of National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has issued seven-day ultimatum to Governor Ademola Adeleke over 100 per cent increase in school fees in state-owned schools.
NANS through its Chairman in Osun State, Ogungbe Taiwo, addressing reporters yesterday, said after a crucial meeting held at the Federal Polytechnic Ede, “we discovered that Osun State Government is making empty promises to students over our welfare.”
He said: “Governor Adeleke failed to prioritise the welfare of the students and include us in his government. We demand reversal of increased fees of state-owned institutions. The government has increased fees by over 100 per cent. The state also failed to give us palliative outside what the Federal Government gave us.”
Efforts to get reaction from the state government were not successful, as Information Commissioner Kolapo Alimi failed to respond to his calls and text messages sent to his mobile line.
