Governor Amosun Of Ogun Stoned By Tasued Students As He Ran For Cover [See Photo]

The Ogun State Governor, Senator
Ibikunle Amosun while on a campaign visit to Tai Solarin University Of Education, Ijebu-ode on Thursday, 29th January was attacked by some angry students of the State-owned university who appeared not to have forgiven him over his numerous attempts to initially scrap the institution.

On his arrival to the institution,
TASUED students on campus who
became aware of his presence
immediately trooped out in large
numbers.

Initially, it appeared to the Governor
and his campaign team the students
had gathered to cheer them.

There was a wind of change when
some students hurriedly brought out
sachets water (pure water) and in a
jiffy, it became a chorused act as other furious students joined in stoning Governor Ibikunle Amosun with various objects they could lay their hands on.

The Governor became ruffled before
he was able to run to safety and
quickly drove off with his convoy.
Before now, Amosun had been against the existence of the university, giving reason that two state universities were
too much for his administration to
handle.

This led to various protests by students of TASUED, as well as the death of a student leader, Com. Tunji Fashina.

Also, Nigerian Universities
Commission, NUC as a result of
Amosun’s refusal to adequately fund
TASUED delisted courses offered in the university from 48 to 23.
Just recently, Accounting course got
delisted as a course in TASUED.
This development has left many
students frustrated.

DAILY POST has gathered that TASUED Vice Chancellor, Prof. Oluyemisi Obilade is seen as an accomplice as she remains undisturbed with the various happenings in the school system.
