On Monday 16th June 2014, OAU students started a fresh protest over the recent hike in their school fees. The fees of both old and new students were recently increased and newly admitted students instead of paying N37,150 or N42,150(depending on faculty) will now pay N82,400 or N95,700.
The protest lasted for hours, and when it was time for Muslims students to pray they did on the highway where the protest was taken place.
