Students of Obafemi ‎Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, on Friday expressed their frustration with the ‘unfavourable’ condition they were subjected to over the presence of President Goodluck Jonathan in the institution.

Jonathan is attending a conference with South-West traditional rulers and politicians at the OAU.

It was gathered that public buses were not allowed into the school premises and majority of the stud‎ents had to trek long distances to their examination hall.

In one of the instances, ‎a Post Graduate Diploma student was seen arguing with security personnel after she refused entry.

Though she explained that she had exam, the security officials refused her plea.

Students were also seen protesting at the front of Oduduwa Hall where the meeting was holding.
The placard-carrying protesters were heard shouting “thief” on all the politicians that storm the venue.

Among the inscription on their placards are, “Education is our right, give us credible leadership, all we want is standard education.”
