Nigerian students under the aegis of
Alliance of Nigerian Students Against Neo-Liberal Attacks on Thursday staged a
public protest in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, and called on anti- graft
agencies to arrest and prosecute the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Bamitale Omole, for
allegedly mismanaging the university’s resources.
The Coordinator of the ANSA, Wole Olubanji,
who led scores of students to stage the protest also asked the university to
reinstate the students union leaders suspended for seeking better welfare for
the students.
The protesting students said many petitions
had been written against the vice chancellor, saying they had enough evidence
to back their allegations against him.
Olubanji said, “We are calling on President
Muhammadu Buhari, the National Assembly, EFCC, ICPC and the Code of Conduct
Bureau to probe Prof. Bamitale Omole’s administration.
“Prof. Omole administration has earned over
N30bn from subventions, more than N1.5bn from school fees, billions of naira
from ore-degree program besides funds received from special agencies such as
World Bank, TETFUND etc and money from internal sources including
donations from corporate bodies. ”
Despite the fund, the students said their
hostels were in very poor condition; the lecture rooms were over crowded
and epileptic power supply was the order of the day.
