Enough rallies,lecture boycotts,congresses e.t.c

2005/2006 session - 1 week indecency break
2006/2007 session- 3 months break( students refused to write exam cos the school authority refused to give 1week lecture free before exam,we were sent home and nationwide ASSU strike commenced while we were at home
2007/2008 session- No disruptions
2008/2009 session-  After 3 months National ASSU strike, we were at home for like 1 month due to VC/STAFF clash


Till 2008/2009 session, postgraduate students and undergraduate students still clash over the issue of undergraduates coming to watch TV in the Postgraduate hall common room

Even as time has passed by, not a lot has changed

ThanksThanks

Hmmm, i have been looking for the chelsea abode, Glad i found it now,

@ POSTER
Contacting the VC or DVC would not solve your problem.I recently requested for my transcripts from OAU,and the process is not that slow.The fact that your cousin graduated a long time back when the record system were not computerized is probably part of what is making it slower than necessary.(As for the man that is not ready to do his job,the non academic staff are sometimes like that,just threaten him by telling him you are taking up is case with the school authority and he would fall in line).

@ cccollins
Yeah the standard in OAU might have fallen but that is a reflection of the general problem in Nigeria.( you cant compare the standard in 1970 with what is obtained now) and even with that there are not many schools you can compare with OAU in NIGERIA.If most people in Nigeria don't care about OAU,then explain why statisitics from Jamb show that majority of the students writing their exam wanted to attend OAU.


About 340,000 out of the 867, 000 candidates who met the 180 cut-off point in the recent Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination will not be admitted into any of the nation’s tertiary institutions this year, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation has said.

The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, told journalists on Tuesday in Kaduna, Kaduna State, that the nations’ tertiary institutions could not absorb all the candidates because of “limited spaces.”

Ojerinde, who described admission into tertiary institutions this year as a “survival of the fittest,” stated that the space available for prospective students was about 527,000.

He also disclosed that most of the candidates did not choose many of the the privately-owned universities because of high tuition.

The JAMB Registrar told journalists during the technical committee meeting on admission to degree-awarding institutions that except access to tertiary institutions was increased, “we will continue to have a lot of people waiting endlessly for admission.”

He added that the meeting, attended also by representatives of most of the higher institutions of learning in the country, was held to select the first set of candidates into the universities, polytechnics and colleges of education.

Ojerinde explained further that the chairman and secretary of the committee would meet on the admission lists to decide whether the candidates had met the set criteria for admission or not.

He said that once the candidates had met the set criteria, the names of such candidate would be displayed on the JAMB website and those of the universities, polytechnics and COEs chosen by them.

Ojerinde said, “With this 180 cut-off point, we have about 867,000 candidates who made 180 and above, and yet the available space is just about 527,000.

“So, the remaining 340,000 candidates will have no place to go. That is the point, except access to tertiary institutions is increased; we will continue to have lots of people waiting endlessly for admission.

“One of the beauties of this UTME is that we have brought them together and we are saying that they can go to any institution. If the university doesn’t work, college of education may work; if not, polytechnics or monotechnics may work.

“But I am not saying that it is to be for everybody because the space available is still not sufficient.”

The JAMB registrar also said that some of the candidates who failed to secure admission into their preferred institutions would be distributed to schools that had fewer number of applicants.

He, however, added that the University of Lagos, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ahmadu Bello University, Yaba College of Technology and Kaduna Polytechnic had the highest number of candidates seeking admissions.

Ojerinde said, “The schools without candidates to admit are mostly private institutions, but by the time candidates discover that they don’t have any other place to go, they will go to these private institutions because it is a matter of setting your priority right.

“I can’t give the names of these institutions now; they are so many. Some of them don’t have any candidate. The Institute of Management and Technology, Enugu is one of them. Mohammed Goni College of Legal and Islamic Studies, Maiduguri has only 13 candidates.

“Admission is not automatic because the space is not sufficient. You have to try again next time if you don’t get admitted this year. It is the survival of the fittest.”

@JARUS
I was in part 1 during the indecency crisis and i was scared to death on that day and when i got home i was asked a whole lot of questions on the kind of hostel i was staying
You sold your space that is so illegal , i  was given FAJ too simply swapped mine with a guy that was given AWO BLK 7 but was scared of living in AWO

I entered OAU 2005/2006 session.There was no 2004/2005 session.
2005/2006     School fees - 7,800, Hostel fees -2590
2006/2007     School fees- 5,300,Hostel fees-2590
2007/2008     School fees- 5,300,Hostel fees-2590
2008/2009     School fees- 5,400( 100 increment which was initially not explained but later called Student union dues after students started demanding for explanations),Hostel fees-2590

Student Union Presidents
Part 1 - Diamond
Part 2 - Saburi ( Not recognized by school authority and Student union was later proscribed due to the resulting friction, Saburi arrested,spent some time in Ilesha prison, trial still ongoing i think)
Part 3 - No student Union, elections was held during the second semester after a whole lot of conditions by the school authority
Part 4 - Devaino
@ Jarus, dayokanu and GboyegaD
We heard the numerous tales of OAU in the golden old days.it must be fun to have been part of it, ' all the aluta'

I stayed in AWO BLK 4 in Part 1 ,moved to FAJ in Part 2 but didn't dig the lifestyle of those FAJ boys( always forming big boys), stayed in AWO BLK 7 in Part 3 and Part 4
_{OAU has taken over the thread}

OAU is the cheapest. The whole tuition i paid to get a Bachelors degree( from 100level to 400 level)is less that 50 thousand naira, 5,300 naira( from 200level-400level) and 10,300 naira for 100level and accommodation is even as cheap as 2,590 naira per session.
