Tuiton Fee saga has rocked Ondo State for several months and still ongoing. Some students of Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba-Akoko are already taking a look at the rescheduled meeting to hold today, June 6. ADAGBA PROMISE looks closely at the the situation as well as talking to some students.
Recall that the tuition fee meeting with the Ondo state government has been postponed twotimes now with the third one to hold today.
The meeting has been rescheduled to hold today with Stakeholders that are concerned but the question is, WILL TUITION FEE MEETING HOLD WITH ODSG?
Taking you down memory lane before the three days protest held in Akure city, President of the Nigeria Association of Nigeria Students (NANS), Comrade Bamidele Danielson heard about the hike in tuition fee in Ondo state and that instigated his coming down to Akure to dialogue with the Governor but it ended on the rough side.
After so much consultations and message for dialogue with Ondo State government which was not favorable, a three days peaceful protest was staged in the State capital -Akure involving AAUA and OSUSTECH.
During the three days protest the Students Union Government was called by the Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi for dialogue.
They were are asked to stop the protest that the tuition fee would be review but the union insist that until they take the step and rewiew committee is set the protest will continue.
After the three days protest the Student Union was call on for meeting with the Ondo State Government through the SA to the on Youth matters, Banji Adewumi.
Upon reaching the venue of the meeting, the meeting was postponed but a date was picked, the date picked happens to be Children Day-May 27.
A day to the date the SA contacted the Union telling them the meeting would not hold due to Children Day; another date was picked which was May 28
The meeting was held with the Deputy Governor .
The Union President, Comrade Adesomoju Samuel SAMPRAISE said in a statement obtained by ECHO:
"We presented our few minutes argument and facts before the Deputy Gov. He (deputy Gov) did say Governor was briefed about our meeting to hold today and he did appreciate that he will love to have the full house in the next meeting including the Vc's and Governing council of both institutions."
The statement continue:
"The said meeting ended in about an hour later because we started 3: 37pm and left the Government house some minutes to 5PM with solid agreement that the comprehensive meeting will hold to make final resolutions next week, Thursday, 6th June, 2019."
Today, while putting a call to some of the Students Union executives in AAUA they are of the opinion and optimistic that the meeting will hold with Ondo state government.

Through the analysis of the postponement of the meeting all this while in which Ondo state students have waited hopefully for weeks at home, we at ECHO are all optimistic that the meeting with Ondo state government will hold today 6th June and yield positive result.
