Brother eRG, yours is a nauseating and disgusting case of wanton insolence, and unnecessary DISTRACTION from a subject-matter! What has all the disparaging and condescending names you called Gov Oshiomhole got to do with questioning the Gov's reasons, motive and objective for hiking the fees, or the visionary leadership and superior governance the Gov has rendered to Edo State, which is a surely refreshing departure from the "do-thing, endless looting and ineptitude of your PDP Lucky Igbenedion regime"? Frankly, you could use some civilized and decorous restraint in your characterization of Gov Adams; you are neither the only Edo watching Gov Adams, nor the smartest Edo to evaluate his worth and effectiveness. The OVERWHELMING AGREEMENT among Edos and Nigerians in general is that Gov Adams has done is and is doing an EXCELLENT job of governance in Edo State! So what is your beef with good governance that is needed in all areas of Nigeria?
Regardless of the circumstances surrounding the out-of-character school fees hikes being attributed to Gov Adams, a known and avowed advocate of Education, a more reasonable approach to this news is to QUESTION the Gov's reasons, motives and objectives. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with that approach from any stakeholder, citizen or even interested observers. But to rain abuses and gutter language on a known social advocate and demonstrated performer, is clearly to surrender to a trendy reality from some of you on these egroups, whose obsession is just to maintain your guerrilla attacks on Gov Adams, waiting for any silly, unfounded and even unreasonable reasons to discharge your venoms on him. It is unreasonable, condescending, gratuitous and ILL-ADVISED. Take care. JUI

Thanks Itohan for sharing. Can you please tell us if this N60000 is for a year or per term?
Also, was it the Governor that disbanded the SUG or the VC?
I was made to understand that he was booed but not stoned and was later given the opportunity to address why the increase. The conflicting student numbers from both the VC and the bursar is enough to attract dismissal of both officers. The Governor should find out the exact number of student and dismiss which of these officers provided a wrong information.

Gov. Oshimhole OverTuition Fees Hike
I was at the school last week and was reliably informed by some students that the governor was actually at their school ,he was stoned and booed.He blamed the Vice principal for not knowing the total number of student in the school as the bursar gave a different number from what the VC gave to him and he therefore increased the school fees of all the students from N15000 previously paid per student to N60000.He also disbanded the SUG so there was no opposition to his increase!Itohan Iyoha

ERG,
Before you start rejoicing, can you please verify the source of what has been written? Please call home or do a little research to show that this actually took place. When did this happen and who was present at this time? Was any arrest made? Did anyone interview the student union President to find out why they are protesting? Did the students make any representation before now to ask about the increase of tuition fees?
There is simply no reason to jump into conclusion but Dr Ebohon has also raised an important point.
Thanks
Ben

ERG,
The rise in tuition fees is inevitable and the students should rather concentrate on the direction to which the money goes. If the money is ploughed back into the University and services improves, the better it is for the students, staff, and Edo State. What the Edo State government should have done was to clearly map out where the money is going and carry the student body along. The action of the students must have been motivated by not knowing where the money will be spent. AAU and other tertiary institutions in the state require huge sums for capital infrastructure and services and some of this amount must come in fees.
My regards,
OJ

Haba! Na im fault? No be una say una want pick-pocket as governor?
After all he never went to a university, only a bloody tailor mending okirika clothings. A so-called progressive labour leader imposing taxes on educational infrastructure and hiking tuition fees for schools he did not build.
What a tragedy!

Varsity Students Stone Edo Gov. Oshimhole Over Tuition Fees Hike
Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Alliyu Oshimhole, will not forget in a hurry, his in the hands of students of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma in Benin City, who hauled him stones and called him unprintable names over his government's hike in tuition fees. The event which occurred at Edo State Institute of Management an Technology, gave the governor's security men an uphill task as they battled to control the angry students who were protesting the increase in their school fees.
