The November 22, 2021 protest in Aaua, A calculated protest

Author: Idowu Daniel

 

Prior to the protest that happened in Aaua there have been news flying around the campus about the no school fees no exam policy, it's insensitive on the part of the school authorities to come up with such policy , the policy is like the last straw that breaks the camel's back, with the current state of things in the state where government workers are being owed salaries and arrears and if they are not being paid there will be no cash flow in the state, the market women selling things in the market, the supermarkets, clothes sellers etc, will have no one to buy things  from them (all these categories of business men and women are parents to students in the school) then how does the school authority expect students to pay school fees, so it's insensitive on the part of the school authorities who have not been paid them selves to come up with such policy and expect the student community to agree to such, it's like inciting the students to protest. The protest is a reflection of the state of citizens in Ondo state under the present economy that if any insensitive policy is instituted that tends to choke life out of the poor masses then a protest is inevitable.

The school authorities released a circular yesterday November 22, which states that all students should be allowed to sit for the first semester examinations for the 2020/2021 academic session including the 100level students that are yet to get their matric number can use their Jamb registration number to sit for the exams and it was signed by the registrar (Olugbenga Arajulu), this information was released a little late as some 100 level students were denied access into the center for exams based on the no school fees no exam policy and the protest was already going on as at the time the circular was released, why come up with a policy that incited the students to protest only for you to now release a late circular that says otherwise?

This is suspicious!!!

Note: This was written as a logical review of the entire event not as a post to support vandalism and damaging of school properties.
