ASUU OOU chapter commenced their indefinite strike on August 8, 2016 tagged “No Pay No Work” and this action has affected our ongoing examinations, resumption date of the institution and those that ought to have graduated with their set or colleagues yet to finish their exams because of the strike.
It is annoying that we were sent out from examinations hall after paying huge amount school fees range between N104,000-N160,000 per session the highest school fees paid by any government owned university in Nigeria.
It is also on record that Ogun government refuses to fund our school, No subvention to the school, laboratory is bad, no chemical/reagent to help the science students perform well in their field of study.
