Olabisi Onabanjo University bans Students Union

The management of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye, has proscribed the Students Union of the institution.

This follows last weekend’s indefinite closure of the university by the Ogun State Government after protests over tuition fee increase.

A statement contained on the institution’s website reads: “Following the announcement by the Ogun State Government of the indefinite closure of Olabisi Onabanjo University for security reasons, the University authorities hereby direct all students to stay away from the University campuses. To this effect the Student union Government  has been proscribed forthwith for collaborating with unregistered group  and external influences.

“A meeting of the Parents Forum and the University Management  will be called in due course to discuss the implication of the closure and the way forward. Parents and guardians are hereby adviced to ensure that their wards comply with this university directive and go home to avoid unpleasant circumstances”.
