A group known as SAVE AAUA Coalition Lagos Chapter has condemned the hike in fees by the Ondo State Government.
According to the statement issue by a prominent member of the group, Comrade Adesina Tosin Nathaniel which states:
"We insist that the Government has no reason to hike Tuition, it has not even been able to Justify the fees it has received in the last six years. The fee hike has only exposed the irresponsibility of Government towards its own institution. It has shown how Government has consistently underfunded the institution."
"We insist that the new few regime is not only senseless and unaffordable, it points out to the commercialization of education which would make sure education is prized out of the reach of the poor. Already the poor has suffered several attacks from the anti-poor policies of this government of Rotimi Akeredolu, and cannot afford to bear this again."
"We join to reject this satanic fee hike by the Government and demand immediate reversal now.
OUR DEMANDS.
1) Immediate Reversal of the fees to the status quo.
2) Commitment of Government to Increased funding.
3) Transparency of University funds, and how it is spent
4) A bit by bit analysis of all hidden charges earlier collected on the school."
