This is absolutely absurd. To think a state institution can just be stripped of its identity is ridiculous. The university has been striving so hard build a strong reputation since its inception. And to think the decision was made without the consultation of the students is even more inferiorating. Yes, I concur to the need to honour our heroes but we don’t need to strip the identity of a school to achieve that. Why not name halls or even bus-stops after such men. The so called freedom park in osogbo, why not name it "Bola Ige Freedom Park" rather than changing the entire name of a renown institution. I stand to say that this man called Ogbeni has a problem with placement of priorities. If not misplacement of priorities, is changing the name of institutions the next thing the state's agenda?
I know there are some fellows somewhere who sees nothing wrong in this show of shame, but I want you to understand fully well that Uniosun is barely 10years old and still striving to gain recognition nationally and globally. Changing its name is a great setback in achieving that.
I don't want us to go with the masses nor run after an administration because of religious views or whatever sentiment.
I want to admonish students not to publicise that name be it UNIBI, BIU or whatever it may result to. Let us still hold unto this renown name "Osun State University" let us protect, preserve and keep Promoting it until it reaches quantum leap.
I believe this unhealthy decision can be reversed if we come against it in unity. Let us remember that, the former president, GoodLuck Ebele Jonathan once tried to change the name of University of Lagos to Moshood Abiola University. That decision was countered fiercely by the students and they won the federal government. Now Unilag is still Unilag. We can do this fellow students. Let's share this article across various groups and campuses. Greatest Uniosun Students!
