Early Monday morning, the Students’ Union President - Obafemi Awolowo University directed students – finalist not to yield to an act of the management which he termed ‘extortion’. This happened as a result of the collection of a N500 fee for a hall handbook provided by the management.

In a call chat with the president – Dr IBK on his action so far, he said “The wardens claim the DSA has to give them the directives to stop the collection, but until the DSA gives them the directives, we have told them to stop registration and the extortion, until then, students should go straight to their rooms as the bedspaces belong to them.”

Students were however in disarray despite the confidence the union President has given them. In a phone call chat with Prof Akinola (Dean, Students’ Affairs) she said
“The issue of handbook has been sorted out during fresher’s resumption.”

She however condemned the action of the Union executive and the students. She said
“If that is decent enough, they can do it, I hope they don’t forfeit their Bedspace. I hope when they forfeit their Bedspace, they’ll be able to sort it out for them.”
