Students of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), Ondo State on Monday kicked against the decision of the school’s management to increase their school fees.

The protesters, who occupied the main gate of the institution, thereby preventing entry and exit, insisted that management must return to status quo ante.

Speaking with journalists, the President of FUTA Students Union, Olayemi Oluwasoromidayo, pleaded with the management of the school to maintain the previous years’ school fees.

Oluwasoromidayo said: “The student body has met with the management many times but it refused to yield to our demands so we decided to stage the protest.”

He pointed out that the management had increased the school fees to over N200,000 for freshers, while old students who were paying N35,000 would now pay N130,000.

He said they would continue to stage the protest until their demands were met.

However, the management of FUTA has shut down the institution indefinitely and ordered the indefinite postponement of resumption of students for the 2023/2024 academic session.

A statement signed by the institution’s Director, Corporate Communication, Adegbenro Adebanjo, directed all students currently on campus and in hostels within the university to vacate them within 24 hours.

Besides, the management directed that registration of returning students via the university portal and payment of fees by all returning students for the new academic session via the portal scheduled to begin on Monday, January 15, 2024 is put on hold.

“It is important to state that the university did not open the portal for registration for returning students for the new session contrary to what was being bandied in the public domain.

“On the proposed new fees and charges, they are mainly for students related services which are sourced from the economy. And the costs of such goods and services provided by the university for the students will certainly be impacted by costs of goods and services in the economy.

“To ensure smooth running of the university, certain consumables and payments for municipal services such as electricity, water, hostel maintenance and cleaning and sundry other services are necessary and the costs of providing the services have shot up and the new charges are in response to this,” the statement said.

Adebanjo added that other costs that were adjusted as a result of the economic reality included medical examination for all new students, biometric ID cards and Tertiary Institutions Students Health Insurance Programme (TISHIP) administered by NHIS for students and final year book .

“It is important to say that tuition is free and no money is being charged as tuition fee. The management reiterates that tuition remains free for all students and that it has inbuilt mechanism within the system to look into and build consensus on matters affecting students including charges and fees. And that mechanism is working on this matter and consensus will be achieved,” he said.

Once the 26 or 27 Assembly members impeach him, the FG will withdraws
the security agencies from him, what is left is Fubara on the streets. He may even be arrested for imaginary one trillion dollars corruption and flown to Abuja. If you like, you can kill yourselves in Rivers, it won't get to Aso Rock.

Ask about 98.783% of Nigeria non virgin girls how they got deflowered, they will tell they got raped.

The truth is, any girl that got deflowered through rape will find it difficult to get entangled with a man.

But, your beloved girlfriend got entangled with another guy and with you also.

Let me be honest with you, your girl's body count is way above 63 if well counted.

To be very honest, you're saying the truth, four of my ex said the got raped and that's how the lost their virginity
