The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has issued a stern ultimatum to Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, demanding the reversal of a recent 100% increase in school fees at state-owned institutions.
Addressing reporters after a crucial meeting at the Federal Polytechnic Ede, Ogungbe Taiwo, Chairman of NANS in Osun State, expressed dissatisfaction with the state government's handling of student welfare issues. Taiwo lamented the lack of inclusion of student representatives in government deliberations and accused the government of making empty promises regarding student welfare.

"Governor Adeleke failed to prioritize the welfare of the students and include us in his government," Taiwo asserted. "We demand reversal of increased fees of state-owned institutions. The government has increased fees by over 100 per cent. The state also failed to give us palliative outside what the Federal Government gave us."
Efforts to obtain a response from the state government were unsuccessful, as Information Commissioner Kolapo Alimi did not respond to calls and text messages.
The ultimatum sets a deadline of seven days for Governor Adeleke to address the concerns raised by NANS, indicating the urgency of the situation and the resolve of student leaders to advocate for the rights and interests of their constituents.
