The
controversy over the plan to carry out restructuring of Osun State
tertiary institutions by the state government took a new dimension on
Wednesday, when over 7,000 prospective students, who were seeking
admission into the institutions demanded for a refund of money paid to
obtain admission forms.
This is coming against the backdrop of the government’s 2015 decision to cancel admission process for 2015/2016 academic year after the applicants had paid millions of naira for admission forms of the institutions, namely; Osun State Polytechnic (OSPOLY), Iree; Osun State College of Education, Ila-Orangun; College of Education, Ilesa and College of Technology, Esa-Oke.
Governor Rauf Aregbesola-led administration had attributed the cancellation of admission in the affected higher institutions to the need to restructure their courses, with a view to shore up qualitative educational programmes.
But, in an open letter addressed to the managements of the state-owned tertiary institutions and Osun State government, the spokesperson, admission seekers under the aegis of Concerned Applicants (CA), Biola Oyeniyi demanded the immediate refund of money paid by applicants, saying failure to pay would result in court litigation.
Oyeniyi, who condemned in its entirety, the decision of the state government and the school authorities to stop their admission after collecting the money, threatened to seek legal option to recover it.
He tasked the National Boad for Technical Education (NBTE) and the Governing Councils of the affected institutions to prevail on Governor Aregbesola to correct the abnormality in the process of last admission exercise, which prevented prospective applicants from gaining admission this year.
According to Oyeniyi, “we shall resist any attempt to bully us because we already know that the schools have been removed from JAMB portals, therefore, our money must be refunded ”.
“Though ,we knew it quite well that our laws in this country are like a spider web through which the big flies pass and the little ones get caught, we are aware that the letter of the law was not as important as who held the power in a real life situation but we have put all these behind us and we remain unresolved in our quest to make justice prevail”, he added.
Oyeniyi accused the school managements of allegedly shortchanging them, describing the action as uncalled for, unconstitutional and an act of injustice, adding that “the management and governing councils of these institutions could not even think twice in its plan to short-change these innocent applicants of their right to admission”
“It is more than seven months now that these schools have collected our money as high as N10,500 for HND applicants and nothing less than N4,000 paid for UTME, regarding those students, who applied for ND programmes”, he remarked.
