The Governing Council of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago Iwoye, has been ordered by the state government to close down the school to forestall the break down of law and order.
This followed series of violent protests by the students of the institution over the decision of the state government to implement the new fee regime by next session.
The students on their own part are demanding that it begins from the current session describing it as a political ploy since elections will be coming up next year.
According to Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Muyiwa Adejobi, the action of the state government, coupled with the intelligence and other information received from the students’ body of OOU, led to the closure.
He, therefore, warned concerned students of the affected institution to leave the school premises as directed by the government and do away with any act that would be unlawful and security-threatening.
