Taiwo criticized Governor Adeleke for neglecting student welfare and failing to include students in his government, demanding the reversal of over 100% fee increases in Osun State-owned institutions and expressing disappointment in the lack of palliatives and infrastructure improvements.
The student body threatened mass mobilization and relocation of their Secretariat to the Governor’s office if their demands were not met within seven days, stressing the need for immediate action to address the deteriorating conditions on campuses and calling on the government to prioritize student concerns.
“Students demand the immediate reversal of increased school fees in Osun State-owned institutions. It’s disheartening seeing the pain on students in this present hardship we all faced. We hereby call for a total reversal of the increased tuition fees; failure to act promptly will result in mass mobilization by the student body and relocation of our Secretariat to the office of the Governor.

Despite initial hope, anti-student policies have been implemented, and we are still lacking behind other Southwest state ,we urge the government to prioritize student concerns.

“Despite our efforts through letters to government authorities, indifference persists. Therefore, we issue a seven-day ultimatum to the government to address our demands. Failure to do so will result in peaceful protests and roadblocks in Osogbo, the state capital.
“These demands represent the collective voice of students across higher institutions in Osun State, endorsed by the student union presidents in the state. We urge the government to heed our calls and prioritize the welfare and rights of Nigerian students.”
