WHEN EDUCATION IS GONE SLAVERY IS NEXT:
Distinguished ladies and gentle men of the press we humbly welcome you to this press conference where we will be addressing critical issue that affect our present and the future, we hope you will perform your duty as an agent of mass education and information without fear or favour and as enshrined in the constitution of our mother land, our union condemn totally the satanic increment in OAU, LASU, UNILAG, and others, the bases of this increment is unjustifiable as posted by the management of the affected institution.
It as been argued at different gathering by anti masses state agent including Vice-Chancellors that Education is no longer for the poor, for this reason we were not amaze by the statement of VC of OAU saying OAU fee is the most ridiculous in the whole of Africa University system, our question is if Education is no longer for the poor What is left?
Today every aspect of our society is dominated by the rich and making it greatly unavailable for the poor, the only thing left at our disposal is partially affordable quantitative education now they have decide to take it away from us totally via sky rocket fee that our poor parent can not afford. Without any apology this is unfair, wickedness, satanic and deliberate assassination of Education in our dear state, this is a government who failed to pay minimum wage for the poor workers yet continue to implement western economic policy that continue to make our parent continue to work yet get more poorer, so how can they afford such exorbitant fee.
Today in grate IFE student in their large number troop out to show there anger against such ungodly act, our union stand firmly behind them in this struggle, because it no about IFE alone but about all and sundry. Ladies and gentle men you will agree with us that this so called Vice chancellor attend and enjoying free and better education, if they have to pay for it like their colleague oversee then today many of them and their supporters will be VC of Farmer's University in their respective villages, they were trained with communal wealth but today the story as change Individual for himself.
OUR DEMAND :
Total reversal of the fee to currently payable fees in all the affected institution.
Immediate reopening our Schools(within 24 hours).
No student or student leader should be directly or indirectly Victimise.
Allocation of more fund to Education at all level.
Provision of federal and state scholarship for student with out heavy process to access
Provision of better and modern educational support facility
Inclusion of student in all decision making body of our university
The appointment of VC should be more democratic with involvement of all stake holder including student congress as against the current autocratic method.
Our Hope:
As we further with our agitation we hope to get to the end of this as quick as possible so as not to affect the already epileptic academic calender much, we urge all student to remain dogged vigilant and not to be destructive because the property is ours,as that might be an excuse to victimise us and gain sympathy from the public that we currently enjoy their support.
Victory is ours Because Dare to Fight Dare to win, Nothing Shall discourage us.
