OAU Students Insist On Going Home As Congress Agrees On Lecture Boycott

Many students of Obafemi Awolowo University have said they can no longer withstand the hardship they have been subjected to for the past three (3) days due to the demonstrations of the Non Academic Staff Union, NASU over their unpaid allowances.

The congress of students was conveyed yesterday to take positions on some Union matters which include the NASU protests. Just as the Students' Union president stated that particular agendum concerning the campus situation, the students echoed that they want to go home in a popular students' protest slogan. 'a o lole wa ni o a o a, a o lole wa ni o' (we will go to our houses, we will go to our houses). The Union president, Akande Omotayo a.k.a TY who felt reluctant in succumbing to that demand stated that submissions will be taken to decide the SU stand. In TY's personal submission, he felt the students should embark on lecture boycott instead of the initial demand of going home.

After several submissions were taken, the president posited and announced that a congressional resolution of lecture boycott has been agreed to solidarize with NASU.

In the mean time, power and water supplies have ceased totally for more than 24 hours. This has forced some students to resolve to stream water to meet some of their primary needs.

Some students who spoke with our correspondents however have dissenting opinions ranging from total school closure to negotiation with NASU.

"Why should we still stay on campus? No light, no water, health centre closed, library closed, no lecture, banks closed, gate closed and yet, the Union want us to stay with NASU. As I speak to you, I have not taken my bath since morning because there is no water. It is not normal at all" Biodun, a Fajuyian lamented.

In a slight different opinion, one Tolu feels the Union should negotiate with NASU to restore power and water supplies.

NASU protest will enter its fifth day if it should continue tomorrow.

OAU Workers Protest 64 Months Unpaid Allowances

Non-academic staff of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife has paralysed academic activities in
the campus over non-payment of their hazard allowance approved by the federal government since 2013.

But the management in a circular obtained through the Public Relations Officer of the institution, Mr. Abiodun Olarewaju, explained that the university would pay the workers as soon as it gets the allowance from the federal government.

The workers under the aegis of Non Academic Staff Union (NASU) shut down all facilities on the campus including the senate building, health centre and library.

They also blocked all entrance to the university thus preventing vehicular movement in and out of the institution. The protest took another serious dimension on Tuesday as power and water supplies were totally shut down.

The chairman of the NASU, OAU chapter, Comrade Wole Odewunmi, explained that, “after this, if the management refuses to respond to our demand, we will notify the management of our strike action. This is just a notification ahead of our strike action.

“We met with the pro-chancellor but his response does not suite us. After I took the report of the meeting to our members, they decided that we should make our agitation known to the management and the public.

“For the past 64 months, we are owed hazard allowance and we have had several meetings but yielded no results.

“The two parties – government and management- keep pushing blames on one another and it is this people that we know that we will protest to.”

The protest will enter its fifth day by tomorrow Thursday.

The Pathway to Academic Success - Segabio

 

 "The shortest way home is not always the quickest"

 

For real there is no shortcut to success,diligence and hardwork is the path that lead to
success.  Great height that great men attained is not as a result of sudden flight but they kept climbing when others are asleep.You labour in the "closet" and receive the reward in the "open".
 

 "Behold a man who is diligent in his work will stand before kings and
note mere men".

 

 However,challenges are inevitable in the path to success, don't be discouraged, never give up.

  Greatness or success' story is not complete without extreme sacrifice. When some people waste time on frivolities,try as much as possible to remain focused."Not slotful in business,fervent in spirit
and serving the Lord". One-time best graduating student shared his experience on campus.There was no power supply a day prior to the day he had one important examination.He made use of the street light near his hostel to read while some lazy students slept off.
 Conclusively,sacrifices are not easy to make but then,when made are
rewarding.Make a decision today!

 

 

Segabio is an upcoming writer and a new member of OAU Peeps News Agency.
