The National Council of the Federation of Oyo State Students (FOSSU) has declared to embark on a daring, decisive, and confrontational protest 7th September 2020 against the non-payment of bursary to students across the state.

In a press statement released by the leadership of the union on 29th August 2020, Comrade Azesz Muritala Olowoeko and Senator Ajadi Isac Oluwasegun who are President and Senate President respectively said that the decision to embark on the massive protest was concluded at a virtual meeting which had in attendance the executives and principal officials of the senate.

OYOMIND.COM.NG recalls that FOSSU National had earlier on August 13th, 2020 called the attention of the Seyi Makinde led administration to the non-payment of bursary and an ultimatum of 14day which lapsed on 27th August, 2020 was given.

The statement reads thus:

“Sequel to the ultimatum issued by the Federation of Oyo State Students’ Union which lapsed on the 27th of August, 2020, to the Oyo State government, the leadership of the Union has recently held a productive virtual meeting. The meeting had in attendance both the Executive and principal officials of the Senate.

“It was reported during the meeting that the State government is yet to respond to the yearning of Oyo states Students despite the 14 days ultimatum. In turn, this complacence and pretence of the government has sent a wrong signal to the minds of Students’ populace, for It is now considered that the government of the day has nothing to offer Oyo Students as regards bursary and scholarship disbursement.

“It should be recalled that the union, in a bid to bridge the gap between Students and government body had issued a 14days ultimatum to Oyo state government dated 13th of August, 2020 which lasted till 27th of August, 2020.

“The ultimatum was considered the next line of action after series of letters and resolutions in meetings with the government which was deliberately ignored.

“Conclusively, the union hereby calls for staunch support, dedication and commitment of all leaders, cadres, activist, unionist, and the entire FOSSUITES as the union looks forward to embarking on a daring, decisive and confrontational move on 7th September, 2020.

“We hereby call the over 950,000 Oyo state students to take note of the date as we are set to storm Agodi Secretariat.

“Until we are all freed, we are all slaves,
Aluta continua; victoria ascerta.”
