OAU management strategy is always divide and rule.

They will call some persons and talk to them to calm down. Do not agree‼️‼️🤝🤝

The brutality and wickedness must stop. They said they pay external influencers😹😹😹

They cannot pay my money o😹

So because Tinubu’s wife gave the students means of transportation, they can’t say no? Or go for what will give them a peaceful life? Ori gbogbo yin ti daru papo!🫵🏻 OAU isn’t a playground for dirty politics! Eyin Alatenuje oshi.

Let me be clear, we have the time, resources and will to resist any attempt to victimize any student. We will go with you from court to court, and respond to petition with petition. If you arrest them, we will release them. Do the needful! @OAUniversity

[AOJ @aojjustaoj]

Dear God,

We put Obafemi Awolowo University into your hands tonight. We pray against every form of untimely death and struggle.
We pray against hardship, tough times and suffering.
If this is as a result of our sins, we pray you forgive us.

May we not be sent back home dead in the pursuit of our academic journey.
Grant us the peace and joy our heart desires.

Amen!

[ELEMOH @Iam_lordmayor]

If OAU Management arrests anybody, we will release them! On a normal, when town gboro buses and bikes were available on campus, a lot of university staff usually stand at road 1 for free rides. So it affects everyone from top to bottom!! Everyone is affected!!!

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE FIRST LADY OF NIGERIA

Your Excellencies, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the First Lady @SenRemiTinubu, @officialABAT @NGRPresident,
I write to you with utmost respect and a deep sense of urgency as a concerned student of Obafemi Awolowo University to draw your attention to the pressing challenges currently affecting students and academic life within the institution.

Last year, the First Lady donated CNG buses and electric motorcycles to the university. The students welcomed this in good faith, believing it would improve transportation and reduce the existing challenges on campus.

However, after the commissioning of these buses, the school management removed the previous transport system, including motorcycles and the commercial buses that students relied on daily.

Over 35,000 students are now dependent on a limited number of CNG buses and a few tricycles. This has led to long queues every morning and evening, overcrowded buses where four students are forced into spaces meant for three, and delays that affect lectures and academic activities.

Students now spend more to move around. Routes that were once direct have been broken into multiple stages, forcing students to pay more for less convenience. The ticket system that was introduced has also failed to remain consistent, with students paying multiple tickets for single trips.

Movement within campus has become stressful. Areas that were once easily accessible are now difficult to reach. What used to be a simple daily routine has become a burden.

The students consulted. The students engaged.

When nothing changed, the students, through the Students’ Union, declared a 72-hour lecture boycott to push for solutions. Despite this, the management maintained that the situation was only a “teething phase” and insisted the system would stabilise.

The problems persisted.

Frustration continued to build.

Eventually, the students took to peaceful protest, coming out en masse to express their displeasure and demand change.

Now, instead of addressing these concerns, the students are being asked to vacate their hostels in the 5th week of the semester. This comes right after the protest, raising serious concerns about the timing and intention behind the decision.

Is this a response to student welfare or a move to disperse students and weaken their ability to organise?

This is a federal university. The students are citizens of this country. They deserve better.

Motorcycles are not a backward means of transportation. They are practical, flexible, and efficient, especially in a campus environment. Removing them without providing a truly effective alternative is not progress, it is regression.

The students are the largest stakeholders in this institution, yet their voices continue to be ignored.

We ask:

Are you aware of this situation?
Do you consider this acceptable?
And if not, what steps are you taking?

We call on the Federal Government and the Office of the First Lady to intervene and ensure that student welfare is not sacrificed.

The students are being oppressed and we ask you and the general public to come to our aid

[Joy Abiola @Legbetiofficial]

The OAU Management is at it again, to their usual old format. Shutting down the school and also trying to intimidate the students' leader with suspension as expulsion so they would relent on their position as regards the welfare of whom they serve

I was a student leader in 2021 and when we held protest against the death of a student at the university health centre. This same tactics was used and it's not even new to me. We must at this point learn to resist such action they delve into everytime, these things are what contribute to enlogated academic session and for me I think these actions are deliberate.

The university management don't like their ego trampled on. Hence, they resort in this to protect their names and avoid escalations that would affect their person.

Clearheaded leaders stood still during our time and I must say that I am super impressed today with the students' leaders actions
Also, I must say this that students should be unified now and fight the known oppressor to them, which is the university management.

Let this be on record that if we don't fight, we are losers already and if we fight we might win. The management is doing so many wickedness to the student community lately and people aren't seeing in. How do you explain that 50 buses and 30 tricycles would serve a community of about 35,000 students excluding artisans and staffs that aren't mobile. This is impunity of the highest order

Should we talk about the arbitrary increase in school fee and hostel fee attributing this thing maintenance of those hostels and these maintenance are not even visible. Students will pay feee and not get identity cards, where are these money going to.

This degradation that has been caused to the university community and major sakegolder in the university must be stopped with immediate effect.
This is not a time to implore the university management to correct wrongs, we need to mandate them to do so and that we will do both that alumi and student body.

Students should stand in unity against oppression. Together we will win ♥️

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

Our attention has been drawn to a circulating report suggesting that students are calling for a reduction in fares under the new transport policy. This narrative is misleading and does not reflect the true position of the Students’ Union.

[Dr Labon @only_osi]

Imagine waking up at 6 AM, standing in a crowd of 2,000 people, and watching buses that can only take 50. You end up missing tests, missing labs, and losing your mind

Why scrap a system that worked for one that frustrates? We aren't here to cause trouble; we are here because we want to learn, but the school is making it impossible to even get to class.

The old system wasn't perfect, but it didn't treat us like cattle. Give us our dignity back. 🇳🇬🏛️ #GreatIfe"

[Mystique 🤩🥰 @Promiseangel20]

Some lecturers are still holding classes…you will think that’s how well they love their job or care about the students.

[Tommy! @osadiname]

You criticize the government for so many policies that tell directly on followers..

Yet, it gets to your turn to make decisions, and you do the same...

OAU management, you're no different from the government you criticize if you criticize them at all🫠

Beautification una! Sigh

For context, it does not matter the political party— APC, PDP, LP, ADC, etc.— if you see their flyers on OAU campus, remove and tear them from the walls or anywhere.

The moment campaigns are allowed on Campus, our unionism and doggedity loses its virtue and we become NANS

[The Shawarma Specialist @Dudurewa_]

Got to campus gate today and was reminded that OAU still has her Aluta spirit.

They’d put unhealthy systems in place and expect people to adapt. Nobody should be subjected to suffering all because you want to earn a degree.

You people should fight for what you want.
