*AAUA STUDENTS APPEAL TO MR GOVERNOR, BEGS ON THE MITIGATION OF ANY PURPORTED INCREMENTS
By: Haruna Damilola

Dear Mr. Governor
It is with profound sorrow about the ramification going around the students of Adekunle Ajasin Akungba-Akoko that I write this letter to you.
The governor of Ondo state Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu Sir, following your announcement about the increment of our tuition fee in the last convocation ceremony of the institution, there have been a controversies among the students which warrants this letter.
Your Excellency Sir, we believe in your proficiency to increase and decrease our tuition fee, however we plead for our utmost consideration in your magnanimity in this decision.
Sir, we are all aware of the fact that AAUA has the lowest tuition fee among other states universities, giving the poor the privilege to further their education hereby placing the poor, average and the rich on same stratum. But with the increment, it automatically separates we the poor from the rich in the bid to attain higher learning, which is an exercise of bad omen in the Society.

Your Excellency, it is quite obvious that people came from far and near, different parts of the country, not only because of the standard of education given to students, but also the affordable titution fee is undoubtedly one of the reasons.
However, with the increment of tuition fee, it will discourage alot of students and people of love ones from far and near will no longer have the privilege to attend this great citadel of learning because many of us are from poor background.
Reviewing the aftermath of the increment as written by a very concerned comrade Kuta, Victor John, it stated that; "there will be increase in the dropout rate among the students because, many of us hustle defying our pain to get educated, many sponsored themselves to be educated, even those who are sponsored by their parents, they only contribute little to it and with this increment it will only discourage us. As a result of this, the dropout rate will increase."
He further stated that "the female students might take to prostitution" which I count as an exercise of bad omen also. He also included in his write-up that they may become emotionally imbalanced, because though we are from poor background we still try to get ourselves educated but our efforts were frustrated by Government that ought to encourage us.
Please Sir, in other to avoid the foreseen aftermath, we hereby appeal to our Government and the school authority at large to please ride on our euphemism of acceptance in their caucus decision .

Nice letter and please governor akeredolu do the needful by reducing the tuition fee to a reasonable amount. During our time at the said uni my tuition fee from 100l to 400l was not up to 100k. Don't really know the reason for the sudden increment. Great aauaites and kind of miss Dr Benson Igboin.
