The Students’ Union Government (SUG) of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) has condemned the university management’s decision to implement a 100 to 120 percent increase in school fees for the 2025/2026 academic session.
The union described it as “a brutal and calculated attack” on students’ right to education.
FUOYE SUG RESPONDS TO THE UNIVERSITY MANAGEMENT.
To the University Management, the Resilient Students of FUOYE, and All Stakeholders
ALUTA GREETINGS TO THE UNBREAKABLE SPIRIT OF FUOYE STUDENTS!
In the name of Aluta, the fierce mother of all struggles, we, THE BETTER DAYS CABINET, rise with righteous fury to condemn the outrageous and heartless decision by the university management to slam a minimum 100% increase, reaching a staggering 120% in some departments, on school fees for the 2025/2026 academic session. This is not just an increment; it is a brutal, calculated attack on our dreams, our future, and our fundamental right to education. WE DECLARE THIS UNACCEPTABLE, AND WE WILL NOT BOW!
The average FUOYE student is already crushed under the weight of a merciless economy, skyrocketing costs of living, poorly maintained hostels, erratic power supply, and learning conditions that test our very sanity. Yet, in their arrogance, the university management dares to double our burdens without a shred of transparency or consultation. This is not governance; it is oppression! This fee hike is a death sentence to the aspirations of countless students, especially those from struggling families who scrape by to afford education. We will not stand idly by while our futures are auctioned off to the highest bidder!
THE BETTER DAYS CABINET ISSUES AN ULTIMATUM: The university management must REVERSE this extortionate fee hike within the next 24 HOURS and convene an emergency meeting with the FUOYESUG to address this injustice. Failure to comply will ignite the full force of our collective resistance. We are not here to beg; we are here to DEMAND what is ours—affordable education! We call on every FUOYE student to REFUSE to pay a single kobo of this preposterous amount. Let the management feel the weight of our defiance. A government that demands a 100% fee increase without improving our lecture halls, roads, or basic amenities is not just merciless, it is an enemy of progress.
To the university management: Do not mistake our call for dialogue as weakness. We extend a hand of partnership, but know this, if you choose to remain adversaries, we are ready to fight with every lawful weapon in our arsenal. Reverse this fee hike, or face the consequences of a united student body that will not be silenced or subdued.
THE BETTER DAYS CABINET stands resolute, this fee hike will not stand. We will protect the future of every FUOYE student with the fire of our conviction.
ALUTA CONTINUA!
VICTORIA ASCERTA!
