Olabisi Onabanjo University
The management of Olabisi Onabanjo
University (OOU), Ago-Iwoye, has refused to
honour the invitation of the Ogun House of
Assembly over the feud between OOU and its
medical students.
OOU management was invited over the
breakdown of an agreement reached with the
final year medical students and their parents
on additional school fees.
The institution management was invited to
appear before the House Committee on
Justice, Petition and Education to find a
lasting solution to the matter.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Saburi Adesanya, at
a stakeholders meeting on 3 March, was
quoted as saying that the graduating medical
students, who had paid the mandatory six-
year school fees, should pay a "one-off" N40,
000 development levy.
The students claimed that the school had
breached an agreement by directing them to
pay extra tuition fees to cover the extra time
they spent in school.
The meeting, scheduled for noon inside the
Committee Room of the Assembly, could not
hold, due to the absence of the institution's
management.
Meanwhile, the university's Medical Students
Association had petitioned Governor Ibikunle
Amosun, through the Office of the Chief of
Staff, to intervene urgently in the matter.
Mr Niyi Oduwole, Head of Corporate Affairs
Division of the university, however, said that
no student was directed to pay extra tuition
fees.
