The Students’ Union has written letters to 11 commercial banks, urging them to stop accepting fee payments from OAU students until the university reverses a recent arbitrary increase in school fees.
The students’ body has warned that failure by the banks to comply with this request will lead to a confrontation between the student leadership and the banks.
The letter, dated September 15, 2023, was jointly signed by the Chairman and Secretary-General of the Students’ Union Government, Abbas Akinremi Ojo, and Akinboni Opeyemi, respectively.
The banks instructed not to accept fee payments are Access Bank, Diamond Bank, Ecobank Plc, FCMB, First Bank, Fidelity Bank, GTBank, Polaris Bank, Union Bank, Wema Bank, and Zenith Bank.
The letter expresses concern about the recent fee hike at OAU, which has generated negative reactions from the student community.
