It was revealed that the students decided to disrupt the academic activities of the institution by locking up the school entrance gate because of the management failure to meet them to address the issue after both parties had previously resolved to meet by 8:00 am on Wednesday.
” We have not heard anything about this issue since our last protest, all our effort to get in touch to the authority concerned was proved abortive, our problems are yet to be attended to and we are here to show our grievances”. ex student lamented.

Said, what NANS is requesting from the school management is to resolve this problem on time.
“We also call for public accountability of over 40 million Naira which was generated from the sum of 5,500 Naira reparation fee paid by all students of the institution as NANS Oyo State will not hesitate to take decisive actions if this situation is not promptly attended to”.
Also speaking on the protest was the National President of the Federation of Oyo State Students Union, FOSSU, Comrade Azeez Sharafadeen Pa-Biafra said the situations and conditions the affected students of the institution found themselves is sardonic and very very barbaric.
