Aside from the fact that it is the right of citizen of the country to peacefully protest to show their grievances and displeasure about issues affecting them ,it also have a lot of disadvantages which is detrimental to the future and educational career of students and not forgetting the fact that it Was unnecessary elongation and interruption in academic calendar of Nigeria Education institutions due to the ASUU strike for about 6 months that led to the present crisis in school fees reduction in Ogun state. It is on this note that we the leadership of National Association of Nigerian Students in collaboration with all STUDENT UNION President in Ogun state in the spirit of solidarity hereby compassionately appeal to State government under the leadership of His Excellency Senator Ibikunke Amosun to positively reconsider its decision on the closure of Olabisi Onabanjo University ,OOU , to safe the future and career of innocent OOUITES.

We hereby call on OOU student Union through the union president Com. Ifade Segun to give room for positive negotiation as this issue can only be resolve through dialogue and not violence as two wrong cannot make a right and unrest cannot be the solution to the problem at hand .
