Hmmm, Shakara to prove a point, but why will govt. Institutions refuse to pay revenues.

OAU again

Does this means students and lecturers can't go in for Academic activities?

They will go through the back gate

Lol

some VC are chopping staff paye be that

enuf flexxing for dem oau students

One question I keep asking is What's The solution to these myriads of problem?

Lol

Nothing we nor go hear for naija.. a whole federal university

This is stupidity of the highest order and a big dent to the image of the government.

Like sewiouly

Lol never knew a state govt institution could shut an FG outfit

OAU owing? They should pay na. What is the Institution doing? They allowed there outstanding debts to get to that poin! I support the State Government. They won't try that in Lagos.

So you mean to tell me that the government shut down it's own school for not paying itself taxes it imposed on itself?

I guess the students are on holiday. Otherwise, those useless officials would be arrested and taken to Awo Hall for detention!
What a senseless and clueless State government....going to lock a federal university!

over to the pigs on nairaland

Funny people.
State revenue service shot down a federal institution...
Do they want to collect tax?
Why not shut down federal secretariat in Oshogbo too.

Everything seems to be wrong with that school since the last decade.
OAU needs total revamp and avoid dwelling on past glory.

This is a sign that even our corporate institutions are sick in the country..if they owe Osun state Govt,they will surely owe workers,contractors etc..very funny

they can , they'll use a ladder to access the premises m_m_

How do we expect our universities to compete with other world universities when things like this happen? Not to talk of strike?

Ose

mere round table discussion.

Some commentators write without understanding the issues at stake.
PAYE are taxes deducted from workers salaries and should be remitted to the Inland Revenue Service promptly.
When an Institution is owing such a huge amount of PAYE, it means that someone somewhere has spent money deducted from workers salaries instead of remitting it to the appropriate office.
The issue is not that of a state sealing a federal institution but of some people misappropriating money deducted from salaries.

Misplaced priority
