Obafemi Awolowo University reduces tuition fees [Full List]

The management of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, has readjusted downward the sundry charges payable by students of the University.

The Public Relations Officer of the University, Abiodun Olarewaju, made the disclosure in a statement issued on Monday in Ile-Ife.

Olarewaju said that the decision followed a meeting the University management had with the leadership of the Students Union on Monday.

He said that the meeting which lasted for several hours, was called by the University management, after several agitations by the students union for a reduction of the initial charges approved by the University.
