WAR AGAINST FEE HIKE: ALL ROADS LEAD TO OSOGBO! - Osun NANS JCC

Lenin, and realities has taught us only struggle wins concession from the ruling class. Buttressing this, science has also taught us through Newton's first law of motion that "a body will continue to be at a state of rest if a force is not exerted on it!" The current fee increment that pervades higher institutions of both state and federal governments is a great attack that all Nigerian students must unite and fight. 

Let no individual, and or union share that ridiculous illusion that mere dialogue or lobbying can resolve the issues on our hands. Even with the most humane of our ruling class;if you do not demand for your right,you will not be given. Then,we must make it clear that this regime of hike is a conscious effort by Nigerian rulers to take back from us what they have granted as concessions on funding public education via the victory of the workers' unions. ASUU won its struggle on the 2009 agreement which won the payment of 200 billion naira annually in the spate of five years.
