Fees Hike: UI Invites Student Activists For Questioning Over Protests
Reported by Ayooluwa Afolabi
The management of the University of Ibadan (UI) has invited three student activists, Aduwo Ayodele, Olamide Gbadegesin Iyanuoluwa, and Nice Linus, for questioning over their protest against the fee increment at the school.
According to SaharaReporters, it was gathered that the students whose names the University penciled down for victimization were; Aduwo Ayedele, a 200-level student of the Department of History, Faculty of Arts, and Olamide Gbadegesin lyanuoluwa, a 700-level student of the Department of Institute of African Studies, and Nice Linus.
On Tuesday, the invitation was sent to the students as a text message, which was seen by correspondents from SaharaReporters, asking them to appear before a committee at the school\\\'s Student Affairs Conference Room on July 2.
The invitation signed by one Halimah O. Adeoye read, “You are invited to appear before the committee on jointly committed offenses on the allegation earlier leveled against you bothering on misconduct.
“Date: Tuesday 2 July 2024; Time: 9:30 am; Venue: Student Affairs Conference Room.
“Be formally dressed and punctual. Kindly acknowledge the receipt of this message.”
In April, IbadanMedia reported that the UI Students’ Union Executive Council, led by Samuel Samson Tobiloba, had condemned the hike in tuition by 750 percent for new students.
The Council demanded that the increment should immediately be reverted to the status quo and requested a meeting with the university management towards resolving this issue.
The students’ union leadership made its position known following the reflection of the recent increment on the students’ portal.
In a special release, the union observed that the new fees range from N133,500 to N372,500, depending on the courses.
