Livingspring Of Knowledge And Culture

A UNIOSUN student from Ipetu ijesa campus took to Twitter this morning to plead with Don Jazzy for financial assistance, telling him that he was about to be expelled from school for not paying his tuition fees.

In usual Don Jazzy fashion, he replied the fan, asking him how much he owed the school.


The student was quick to take advantage of the opportunity and told the Mavins records  producer that the fee per session is ninety-five thousand nair (N95,000) and he was owing for two sessions, that makes it a total of One hundred and ninty thousand Naira  (N190,000).

Don Jazzy asked him to send his account details as seen in picture,  and after a short while the student took to his twitter account to confirm later that the Don had helped him with his fees.

See pictures below

Surely, a review must be made on the attitudes of the students and the management of this institution. It is crystal clear that the time for a quick resolution has arisen as regards the present atmosphere in the school. Let me say emphatically that the comfort of man lies in the hands of others and it should therefore be noted that he that wants no peace must surely have no peace. It is time for the entire students of Osun State University to rise up against all forms of extortions and anti-students’ policies from the so called inconsiderate management that has insisted on breaking our various hearts and that of our parents.

Inarguably, we are the representatives from our various homes and we are responsible for any decision made. There are some facts that must be known to the masses before it can be easily justified that our actions are borne out of threats, frustration, negligence and most of all a wholly form of isolation suffered by every student of this citadel of learning.

Firstly, we study in a school where payments are made by students for some certain facilities which are not provided. Over the years, a total amount of #10000 has been compelled on us for a malfunctioning ICT and an inadequate or let me say never provided games as parts that make up our tuition fees. We should not neglect the fact that many of us have spent more than three semesters in this school whereby the ICT only provides a locked WI-FI connection which password remains undisclosed to us throughout the semester. I can say it emphatically that it is only if Jesus Christ would come back tomorrow that possibly these facilities would be made available. And they say we shouldn’t talk when the 400level students cannot boast of using the ICT facilities since their days in the University, when we are deprived of our rights, when we are yet to receive what we have been paying for over the semesters. Then…..why shouldn’t we protest?

Students as a matter of fact, often fulfill their own part by sitting for examinations at the end of each semester. It is another course for the management to make a prompt release of the results. Osun State University students suffer a lot when it comes to the aspect of checking results after exams. The management on their own part has continuously ignored the pain caused by a very late release of results. Though they also believe that our results determine our future in the next course registration but yet, they still fail to recognize and subscribe to the fact that late release of results easily delays course registration. Fresh students that were given late registration and change in syllabus have hampered early registration of courses for example. It seems this concept of I DON’T CARE attitude has formed and continued to flow as blood in their veins. The management never cares for us; whether their policies favour us or not, they do not care. Then if that should be the case, why should we not protest? 

Now considering the economic status of the country at large during this moment, it is so embarrassing that the management of this afore mentioned institution heartlessly closed the portal as early as a month and few days after resumption. We had thought that the portal would be reopened for a fortnight time as often observed rather it shocked us so suddenly when the announcement that the portal would be reopened but still on a platform of #10,000 fine. After all forms of unsuccessful intellectual approaches that we took for the reversal of this decision, the management still chose to be at loggerhead with us despite the fact that our parents are deprived of their salaries by various state governors. Is it our fault that our parents wok in Nigeria?

They have just desired on their own to put us in pain by decreeing #10,000 late registration penalty fee. I can’t just envisage the ideas of our management towards this. How do they expect someone that has been striving to pay the actual fee to get the fine? From where do they want a student who finds it hard to feed three times a day to get #10,000? What should a student sponsoring him or her do? How do they expect a student who lost his or her parent along the race to cope? What do they wish for orphans on campus? What should be the fates of the entire students of Osun State University? And they say we should not say a word against injustice, and then….why should we not protest?


#Say_no_to_#10,000_late_registration_fee in_UNIOSUN#

Good evening everybody

Uniosun students kicked against the rule of 10,000 naira late reg fee due to the fact that many students are yet to pay their school fees and the crisis the country is presently facing.
The school  portal which was closed early December made some students not to have access to their portals by not been able to pay and register their courses for the present semester up to this very moment ..The situation got worsen when the VC walked out of the student on Monday during a close door meeting with the student leaders.. The student leaders tried to plead on behalf of the students  so as to open the portal back in which after 70-75% students have paid they might close it back and who ever is yet to pay by then will face the consequences of 10,000 Naira late reg fee but the VC said NO.

In defence of peace and unity among the student's and management of Osun State University, we have been gentle and calm in our plea to the management to make learning and school life more conducive for us.

But today, 15th of Jan, 2017, we regret to inform you that the Osun State University management's policies have not been going in our favour.

As a matter of fact, it seems like the new administration (under the new VC) has been initially set up to pull us back and make schooling unbearable for us.

We will not sit and be bullied.

We have tried all possible approaches to dialogue but it seems there is only one language which they understand clearly and we shall speak it to them.

I'm this regard,

*_Tomorrow 16 - 02 - 2017_*

*There will total amputation   activities in school tomorrow to protest the difficulties and hardship the students are facing.*

Increment of School fees, 10k Late Registration, Poor health service, and several other benefits of the students will be our course for tomorrow's protest.

We urge us all to join the movement and ask for what belongs to us.

*Aluta Continua!*

An Osun State Magistrate’s Court sitting in Osogbo has ordered that a driver, Mr. Elijah Oyebode, and one Yusuf Ajibade, be remanded in the Ilesa Prison.

The two men were remanded for allegedly killing a 400-level student of the Osun State University, Miss Rofiat Adebisi.

According to Punch Metro, the two accused, who were arraigned by the police on Tuesday, were charged with conspiracy to commit murder and unlawfully receiving an iPhone 5 belonging to the deceased.

The police prosecutor, Mr. Mireti Wilson, told the court that the accused and other suspects currently at large committed the offence on December 23, 2016, at Egbeda in Iragbiji, Osun State.

However, the pleas of the accused were not taken.

The presiding magistrate, Mr. Olusola Aluko, ordered that the accused be remanded in the Ilesha Prison, while the Investigating Police Officer in the case should duplicate the case file and send same to the Department of Public Prosecutions for legal advice.

He also ruled that the case should be transferred to Court 4 and adjourned till March 31, 2017, for mention.

As part of the commitments to support rapid progress for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals by Africa, the Vice-Chancellor, Osun State University, Professor Labode Popoola joined over 200 global leaders in government, business, academia and civil society on Friday 27 January, 2017 in Kigali, Rwanda to launch the Sustainable Development Goals Centre for Africa (SDGC/A). The primary objective of the event was to discuss the major themes relevant to the SDGs implementation in Africa, including a presentation of the Africa Report 2030 as well as the official launch of the Center.

The SDGC/A was established by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, following the signing of the historic agreement on Sustainable Development Goals during the UN General Assembly in September 2015. The launch is part of the Centre’s efforts at “Expediting the Implementation of Africa’s 2030 Agenda”. The event was co-organized by SDGC/A and the Association of African Development Finance Institutions (AADFI), with support from The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).


The Vice Chancellor, Osun State University (UNIOSUN), Prof. Labode Popoola who is also the Co-Director, Sustainable Development Solutions Network-Nigeria (SDSN-Nigeria) stated that the conference discussed ideas about how to leverage technology and innovation as well as stakeholder buy-in to achieve the SDGs. He emphasized that the Centre will not impose its ideas on member countries but, will provide technical back-stopping in doing research and adaptation to technology, as well as availing African countries the expertise that will enhance result-oriented implementation of the SDGs.”

When asked how the centre will help implement the SDGs, Popoola said, “the centre, by itself, is not meant to implement the SDGs but will strive to support technical innovations and also provide access to information on emerging issues in sustainable development; support African governments in developing new funding models to finance SDGs implementation in their respective countries, in addition to linking them with international SDGs financing sources. According to him, implementation of the SDGs is not the task of governments alone, but that of all citizens, particularly, the youths, businesses and researchers. To be able to play an active role in the process, Osun State University will formally join the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UNSDSN-Nigeria).

At the event were the Chairman of the Board of the Centre, His Excellency President Paul Kagame of the Republic of Rwanda who also gave a keynote address; the Co-chairman, Mr. Aliko Dangote, a prominent Nigerian and international businessman and Hajia Amina J. Mohammed, Honourable Minister of Environment of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Deputy Secretary-General designate of the United Nations among others. It would be recalled that President Muhamadu Buhari joined other world leaders in September 2015 to launch the SDGs at the UN, thus effectively making Nigeria a key stakeholder in the Agenda 2030.

I welcome you all, most heartily; to this august occasion that marks the official entry of every student into higher institutions of learning. It is significant because it is a statutory gathering to formally admit deserving and qualified candidates who are fortunate to be offered admission into this institution. Why should the matriculating students of today count themselves fortunate?

For 2016/2017 academic session, a total number of six thousand, seven hundred and seventy-nine (6779) candidates applied to Osun State University to study various courses being offered in the Institution. Of this number, only two thousand, seven hundred and fifty (2750) candidates were offered admission having been found successful in the mandatory Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), and the oral screening conducted by the University to further ascertain and strengthen the quality of candidates being admitted to the University in particular. Our record shows a snapshot of the 2016/2017 Admission Exercise as follows: College of Agriculture-125, College of Education-322, College of Health Sciences-451, College of Science, Engineering and Technology-720, College of Management and Social Sciences-736, College of Humanities and Culture- 349 and College of Law- 47. Being among the lucky few calls for deep reflections.

Licensed on 21 December, 2006 as the 30th State University and the 80th overall in the country (for which we are also known as “3080”), this University commenced academic activities in September, 2007 and has maintained a steady academic calendar. A simple testimony to this is that while many Universities in Nigeria are still battling with the 2015/2016 academic session your University is already in the 2016/2017 academic session. We indeed desire this trend to continue.

The University as of now has about 44 academic programmes, out of which all the 39 that are mature for accreditation are fully accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC). Our Postgraduate College also commenced admission of students in the 2015/2016 academic session.

It may interest you to know that you are the very first set of students that I am admitting into the membership of this unique community (i.e. UNIOSUN) in my capacity as the third substantive Vice-Chancellor of this University. I envision a state University that is first among equals, most preferred, making significant contributions to the society, an efficiently run, self-reliant, sustainable institution and a force to reckon with among Universities globally; a truly 21st century University by the end of my tenure. Gladly, you have come at the right time, and I challenge you to enlist in this noble vision.

The University has continued to focus on her pursuit of excellence in teaching, research and service to society as enshrined in our vision: “To be a centre of excellence providing high quality teaching and learning experiences which will engender the production of entrepreneurial graduates capable of impacting on their environment while globally competitive’’ and mission: to create a unique institution committed to pursuit of academic innovation, skill based training and a tradition of excellence in teaching, research and community service. Again, I welcome you on board to key into this vision and mission.

You need to continually remember that the distance between today’s ceremony and convocation ceremony is quite wide and it is important that the journey ends successfully. For this to happen, you need to be regular in attendance at lectures, carrying out all your assignments, shunning deviant behaviours and other vices that can expose you and others to danger. This University has zero tolerance for cultism, any form of hooliganism and corruption. I need to further advise you to show respect to your colleagues and staff in the University to make your stay fruitful and productive. Be modest and decent in your dressing and approach to issues. I am aware that in the just concluded orientation programme conducted across the campuses in the University, you must have been informed of the co-curricula activities available on our campuses. We will strive to improve on them as time goes by. Please, avail yourself of these opportunities, not only to excel in learning, but possibly to become our sport Ambassadors. Please strive to uphold the ideals of the University.

In spite of dwindling resources, the University has managed to stay afloat to deliver good services to our students. We must continue to be prudent with, and make judicious use of our meagre resources by blocking every possible leakage. Your role in prompt payment of fees and other charges would assist the University greatly in this regard.

The recent audit of the payment of fees reveals that the University is being owed over Two Billion Naira. This unwholesome trend must stop. The University has therefore, decided that no students will be allowed to write examinations without full payment of all prescribed fees. We need your cooperation in this regard to enable us deliver on our mandate of producing graduates that are globally competitive and can contribute meaningfully to global development. On our part, we assure you of probity, transparency and accountability in the use of your resources.

.Finally, I wish to assure you of maximum security on all our campuses. We however, plead that you do not hesitate to report any suspicious activities to the Dean of Student Affairs, Sub-Deans, Security Officers attached to you campuses, and your Course Advisers. Be reminded that the oath you have taken today is to be obedient to the Vice-Chancellor, all those in authority, and to be of good conduct throughout your stay in the University. Please be warned that a breach of the oath taken today will definitely attract appropriate sanctions. Again, I admonish you to steer clear of cultism, hooliganism and other forms of social menace.

I pray that the Almighty God will watch over all of you, prosper you and make you all a source of pride to your families, states, country and humanity. Today’s joy shall be permanent. Amen.

Once again I congratulate all the matriculating students and wish you a productive and fruitful stay in Osun State University.

God bless us all.

Vice-Chancellor.

The Vice-Chancellor of Osun State University, Professor Labode Popoola, Wednesday, said no fewer than two thousand, seven hundred and fifty (2,750) qualified candidates were admitted for 2016/2017 academic session even as he reiterated his commitment to fighting cultism and corruption in the institution.

Professor Popoola made this known in his speech delivered at the University’s 10th Matriculation Ceremony held across all campuses of the institution on Wednesday, February 8, 2017. He said the 2,750 matriculating students were found qualified and offered admission out of a total number of six thousand, seven hundred and seventy-nine (6779) candidates who applied to study various courses being offered in the University.
