Ondo students shut scholarship board over planned tuition hike

Ondo State students , under the aegis of National Association of Ondo State Students ( NAOSS ) and National Association of Nigeria Students ( NANS ) have shut down the state scholarship board over alleged unfavourable policies of the state government.

The students , who were led by the unions , barricaded the office of Ondo State Scholarship Board at Oke Eda, Akure Monday morning , preventing the staff from gaining entrance into the premises.

Armed with numerous anti -government placards and chanting protest songs against Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu , the students lamented the attempts to increase tuition fees of all the state - owned tertiary institutions in the state .
The students alleged that the state government was planning to increase the tuition fees of Adekunle Ajasin University , Akungba Akoko (AAUA ) from N35,000 to N 200,000.

They also expressed their dissatisfaction over non - payment of the bursary , WAEC fee and the abolition of free education in primary and secondary schools by the state government .
