'don't Use Students For Political Battles' EAP To Politicians by oluwadanie1(m): 1:44pm On Aug 16, 2014 |
An education advocacy group, Education Access Project (EAP), has cautioned politicians in Ogun State to stop using students to fight their political battles. The group, according to a statement by its chair, Dr Henry Adetona, condemned in strong terms the use of a handful of students of the Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) allegedly by some politicians to disrupt commercial activities in Abeokuta under the guise of fighting for further reduction in schools fees announced on Tuesday by the Ogun State Government. “The protest is even more intriguing considering the fact that it coincided with the solidarity rally of nine out of the 10 tertiary schools in the state under the aegis of NANS, organised to thank the state government for the significant cut in their school fees,” he said. “The fact that the protest by a handful of the OOU students, reportedly without any principal officer of their SUG in attendance, was allegedly sponsored by former political office holders in the state, under whose watch schools fees of OOU increased from N15, 000 to N150, 000, shows how desperate our politicians can become in order to rubbish the successes of their political rivals,” Dr Adetona further said. The statement welcomed the decision of the state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, to reduce drastically the fees payable in all the state’s tertiary institutions of learning from the 2014/15 academic session, noting that the 60 per cent reduction in fees would go a long way in providing more access to tertiary education in the state. http://acadablog.com/dont-use-students-for-political-battles-eap-to-politicians/ |
