Students Warn Gov Daniel

Movement for the Emancipation of Nigerian Students, MENS, has called on Governor  Gbenga Daniel of Ogun State to resolve the crisis facing the education sector in the  state.

The students made the call through their National Coordinator, Comrade Tope Idowu.

”It is unfortunate that the state government is not serious and committed to the  development of education which is the bedrock of any developed state,” Idowu  stated.

He condemned the mass sack of 962 lecturers and non-teaching staff of the Olabisi  Onabanjo University who were fighting for adequate funding of the institution.

The student leader also condemned the management of the school for increasing the  school fees, stressing that the increment will generate crisis in the varsity.
