OAU Tuition Hike: Ooni Promises Students Reversal In 24 Hours

Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuade, has
waded into the face-off between the
students of Obafemi Awolowo University
(OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State and the
management over hike in the tuition.
Represented by his second in command,
High Chief Lowa, the Adimula of Ife
while addressing the students during their
protest that led to the blockage of the
roads linking Ife with other communities,
Ooni aligned with the demands of the
students, promising to persuade the
management to reverse the fee.
The monarch alongside thirteen other
chiefs at his palace condemned the sudden
increment during the “Save Our Soul”
visit by the placards carrying students to
the palace.
“The Ooni will do something and within
the next 24 hours, the fee will be
reversed,” he promised.

Microsoft has released an iPad version of its popular Office software suite.
