Akinbade Group Demands for UNIOSUN Tuition Fees Reduction
A group, Osun Renewal Agenda(ORA),a.k.a. Akinbade’s Ambassador has
written a passionate appeal letter to State House of Assembly over the
recent 140 percent increment tuition fees of the Osun State
University(UNIOSUN),calling for the reduction of the tuition fees to
the barest minimum in the interest of the good masses of the State.
It also alleged that the current State House of Assembly members as
representatives of the people,were not showing concern to the plight
of the affected students’ parents and guardians,who would bear the
brunt of the payment,saying that the 140 percent tuition fees
increment would bring untold hardship to the parents and guardians
alike.
ORA is a social-political platform rooting for the emergency of the
former Secretary to Osun State Government,Alhaji Abdulfatai Akinade
Akinbade as governor of the State comes 2018.
This was contained in a letter dated Thursday 9th November,2017 with
the title:”State of Education in Osun State:Passionate Appeal for
reduction of 140 percent increment of UNIOSUN Tuition fees in the
interest of Osun masses” and signed by its Director-General,Arakunrin
Omotunde,Stephen Adekunle,which copies were made available to newsmen
on Tuesday.
The letter reads in part:”We are constrained to write your office this
important letter in the interest of the good people of the State in
order to use your good offices as a representatives of the people to
look into the recent 140 percent increment of the Osun State
University(UNIOSUN) tuition fees which has been the parents and
guardians alike a sleepless night, due to the state of their present
economy and earning as a result of the half salaries payment regime of
the present administration under the watch of Mr. Rauf Aregbesola in
the State.
“As we all know,Osun State is a Civil Service State and 80 percent
students of the Citadel of learning are indigenes of the State and
there is no way the parents and guardians of the affected students
could fund the Education of their wards with exorbitant tuition fees”.
“Consequent upon this, we have taken it upon ourselves to make this
onerous wake-up call to you and your colleagues so as to save the
golden future of these leaders of tommorrow”,the group submitted.
ORA then urged the State Assembly to live up to the expectation by
giving due consideration to the group’s letter on the subject matter
as a matter of public urgency.
