OAU STUDENTS PROTEST SEMESTER EXAMINATIONS AMID ASUU STRIKE

- Students of Obafemi Awolowo University have protested their semester examinations scheduled to start on Monday, January 14
- The students expressed their displeasure that the authority of the institution is hellbent on maintaining the nscheduled date for their examinations despite the fact that they were barely taught
- The students were warned by the management of the institution not to boycott or engage in any action that may disrupt the examinations and stable academic calendar agenda
Students of Obafemi Awolowo have protested their semester examinations for 2017/2018 academic session scheduled to start on Monday, January 14.
In spite of the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, which has denied the students of proper tuition, the school authority has insisted that examinations will begin on the scheduled date.
Thursday evening, January 10, the students gathered in their numbers to protest against the examinations.

Report has it that OAU chapter of ASUU had warned the institution against conducting examinations when students have not been taught 70%.
Some lecturers, who belonged to the Congress of Universities Academics (CONUA), refused to join in the nationwide industrial action of ASUU, which began on November 4.
A student of the institution, who craved anonymity, said: “I am in my final year at Electrical and Electronic Department and we did not have the minimum of 12 weeks teaching and one compulsory lecture free week before we can proceed to examination as provided in the university regulations. The management should not in the name of stable calendar jeopardize the lives of students”.
Another student said: “Some department have fixed lectures for Saturday and Sunday. Yet, students are expected to be in the examination hall on Monday. We are protesting not because we are lazy but because we are concerned students. The university should stop legalising illegality. We have not taken 70 per cent of lectures, as ASUU began strike in the 5th week."
In the same vein, a 100 level student of the institution said:
“There are about seven or eight lecturers taking EGL102 and five of these lecturers are members of ASUU. Among these five is the coordinator of the course so who will set question. In fact two literature courses examination have been cancelled for those in 300 level.”
However, students of the institution have been warned by the university management not to boycott or engage in any action that may disrupt the examination and stable academic calendar agenda.
Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun state, re-assured its students that nothing would disrupt the conduct of the 2017/2018 Rain semester examinations as the university management had put every machinery in motion to make it hitch-free.
The disclosure was made in a statement by the university's spokesperson, Abiodun Olanrewaju. The statement read: “It is very expedient to issue this press statement not only to make this clarification but also to emphasize the readiness of the university to conduct the examinations as scheduled, contrary to the falsehood which the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife branch has been peddling about on the true position of things on OAU campus.”
