The Nigerian Army has been given a 24-hour deadline by the National Association of Nigerian Students to release the Tai Solarin University of Education students who were arrested on Friday. This was mentioned in a statement signed by NANS President, Sunday Asefon, who stated that the arrest was a violation of the innocent students’ fundamental human rights, which is against the constitution. Asefon also accused the Army of gross misuse of power, comparable to the military tyranny imposed on Nigerians in the past, and stated that the act will not be overlooked by the organization. “The intimidation, harassment, and summary incarceration without recourse to Nigerians’ rights and privileges or the rule of law as provided by the constitution is a bold reminder of the military junta’s daylight impunity, overbearing posture, suppression, oppression, and abuse of power,” the statement read in part. “It is consequently incumbent on us, as Africa’s most numerous, virile, and ideological student movement, to fight the rising trend of similar flagrant misuse of state authority by men of the military against innocent students and Nigerians.” “I, therefore, give a 24-hour ultimatum for the unconditional release of all our students being imprisoned at the barrack on the strength of the mandate of all Nigerian Students across the board.” The NANS president went on to say that if the Army does not release the students, the students will stage a massive protest against the military arm. He also advised all student bodies to prepare for the possibility that the Army will not release the students within the time frame specified. “If the Nigeria Army in Ogun State fails to comply with this ultimatum, I advise the Nigeria Army in Ogun State to immediately begin mobilizing arms and calling for reinforcements, as I will relocate the National Secretariat of NANS to Ogun State, specifically the Ilese Barrack, lead from the front with thousands of students mobilized across the nation and either get killed by the trigger happy soldiers or enforce the release of our students.” “By this release, I therefore direct all our structures to get set and be on standby for Ilese Invasion after the… Read more »

Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, Vice-Chancellor of Lagos State University, LASU, announced a 50% refund on school tuition for University Scholars on Monday. To be eligible for the program, students must maintain a CGPA of 4.50 in each session. During the matriculation ceremony for the 6,648 students admitted for the 2020/2021 academic year, Olatunji-Bello revealed this. Students in this category, according to the VC, would be repaid N28,500 of the N57,000 school fee paid per session. She said that the refund would be given at the end of each session. “This is part of our ongoing endeavor to improve and simplify the lives of our world-class students. This is also to motivate and develop healthy competition among our kids. We did the same thing when I was the interim Vice Chancellor a few years ago, but the school tuition was N25,000. In response to questions about student employment, the newly appointed VC revealed plans to construct mini factories within universities where students might labor for monthly stipends. This, she claims, is to help pupils’ welfare. While she described the university as the second best in Nigeria, according to the Times Higher Education (THE) World University rankings, she expressed her desire to elevate the institution to the enviable position of being the best university in West Africa by 2025, when her term is expected to end. “We are committed to the cause and are adamant about being the Best University in the West African Region,” she stated again.
