Citizens Action to Take Back Nigeria (CATBAN), a civil society  organisation, has warned Abiola Ajimobi, governor of Oyo state, to  reopen Ladoke Akintola University (LAUTECH) or they will "<b>occupy and shut down the state</b>".<br />
<a href="https://draft.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br />
A video clip of an altercation between Ajimobi  and LAUTECH students has since gone viral. The students were protesting  the closure of the university for the past eight months.<br />
<br />
"In a  statement on Thursday, Ibrahim Garba Wala, convener of the group, said  the governor should also withdraw his “insulting remarks” and apologise  to the students.<br />
<br />
He said that Ajimobi displayed “rascality by  saying all sorts of provocative things, including calling on the  students to start a riot” instead of behaving in a “dignified manner as  the leader and constituted authority.”<br />
<br />
"Therefore, we are giving  Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo state seven days to withdraw his  insulting remarks and apologise to LAUTECH students for treating them  with such disdain. We are also demanding that LAUTECH be reopened in the  next seven days, failure to which we would be forced to #OCCUPY and  shut down Oyo state," the statement read.<br />
<br />
We also want to  strongly caution the Oyo State Governor from future reckless display of  impunity and power towards Nigerian youths, who are the bedrock of this  nation and on whom the future rests."<br />
<br />
Governor Ajimobi was  surrounded by heavily armed security personnel who were positioned to  shoot without provocation, an obvious sign that the governor’s arrogant,  inciting remarks were fuelled by his belief that he was well-protected  by security agents paid with proceeds of tax paid by those who voted him  into office, who also look up to him for protection and better welfare.<br />
<br />
It  should be recalled that LAUTECH has been shut down for over eight  months due to lack of funding to the university, and as a result lives  of thousands of students temporarily placed on hold.<br />
<br />
“It was in  an effort to demand for the reopening of their institution so their  lives could proceed positively in their quest to better themselves that  the students protested to the governor of their host state that faithful  day.”<br />
<br />
LAUTECH is owned by the governments of Oyo and Osun state, both of which are cash-strapped to run the institution.<br />
