I got this mail from a 500 Level student of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Yesterday morning being Wed. April 2nd and she was bringing to the public notice how the University has refused to pay Indigent students their bursaries after it was released! Read the message below;
Top of the morning to you Oga kingsley. Writing to you is a student of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso. I happened to be one of the victims of this shameful act done by the school authority. What really happened is that Osun state students' bursary has been sent to school since last year October but to all our surprises the bursary has not been disbursed to its bonafied owners. Despite waiting patiently for all our accounts to be credited in which nothing of such happened, we (osun state students) decided to make a protest as regards that yesterday. Though, we have been promised that a lasting solution would be found to the problem, but am using this medium (if u can kindly post on your wall) to hasten their actions (if there is any) as most of the students need this money badly now that we have our projects at hand & we'll soon be graduates of the school as our exams start by 7th of this month. We all will appreciate it if this is seen on your wall as we know how effective it will be. Thank you
With reference to the peaceful protest embarked upon today tuesday(1/4/14) by the 500L LAUTECH students indigene of Osun State.This is to inform us all that our grievances has been tabled before the appropriate quarters for onward and immediate disbursement of the money.
At a feedback meeting today with Prof.M.O Ologunde of FSE dept,He assures us that the payment will commence this week as He has discuss the issue with the VC,the Bursar and all other principal officers of the university involved.And we also gave him our word that whatever the testimony is (either PAID or NOT PAID) by friday,we would come back and keep in him informed.
At this juncture,we must commend the fatherly role played by this wonderful and amiable academic don and hope all other university officers borrow a leaf of that.
OSUN A DARA OOOOOOOOOOOO
