UNIOSUN students laud Aregbesola for opening shut campus, worried over reparation fee . . . . . . Students of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Osun State University, Ikire, have commended the state governor and the Visitor of the University, Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola for approving the opening of the faculty. This was the thrust of a press statement signed and made available to pressmen in Osogbo, the state capital, by the students leadership; Adepoju Siji Samson and Abubakar Abdul-Basit. The students in a statement titled: Appreciation and Appeal for Reduction of N30, 000 Reparation Fee, also lauded the governor for heeding to their outcries on indefinite closure of the campus. The statement read in part, Though lately, Aregbesola has heeded to our outcries and restored our hope and passion for his leadership. Because of this, we appreciate his magnanimity, and thank Mr. Governor. But, we are seriously worried. As contained in the approval, we have to pay N30,000 reparation fee before we could resume, a condition that is undeniably worrisome considering the economic reality at this moment. Therefore, we implore Mr. Governor to rely more on his magnanimity and bail us out by reducing the fee. It is important to stress that we have agreed to pay reparation fee but affordability is key. Thus, our worries hinged on the fact that this time is hard and many of our parents eat from hand to mouth. More so, tens of innocent students are feeding themselves in pursuance of better tomorrow. This is our solemn demand. However, we pray the concerned authority to allow us write our examinations unconditionally and give us time to fulfil all righteousness. Aregbesola last week approved the opening of the faculty which was closed down on Saturday 16th of August, 2014, following his directive due to students’ violent protest.
