Hundreds of students of Obafemi
Awolowo University on Friday asked
President Muhammadu Buhari
administration to probe the activities of
the Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof.
Bamitale Omole.


The students passed the message to the
President through the Minister of
Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, who was at the university.
They also bombarded the minister with
requests that the Federal Government
should ensure decent hostels for students
on the campus.


The minister was at OAU to deliver the
distinguished guest lecture, titled ‘Nexus
between corruption and
underdevelopment of Nigeria’ at the
University’s Faculty of Arts.
The students had staged series of protest
against poor condition of their hostels
which led to the closure of the school by
the management late last year.
“Our halls of residence are in bad shape
and my colleagues are saying probe
Omole (VC) and so on,” said one of the
students allowed to ask the minister a
question.
“It is not only at the national level that the
government should concentrate its fight
against corruption, it should come to
universities and we welcome President
Buhari’s war against corruption on OAU
campus.”
The entire students present applauded
the students, while the minister promised
to meet with the VC to discuss the issue of
students’ union leaders under suspension.
The minister urged Nigerians to support
the government in the fight, saying
corruption had already started fighting
back.
