The management of the Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology (OAUSTECH), Okitipupa, Ondo State, says the university is not a base for the office of the Senate President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS).
The institution also announced that Henry Okunomo Adewumi is no longer a student of the institution, having graduated from the school.
This is contained in a statement signed Mr Abiodun Okunniga, the institution’s Registrar on Friday in Okitipupa.
According to him, the university said the office of NANS Senate President is not on its campus.
“We unequivocally deny any endorsement or support for the purported shutdown scheduled for September 15, and hereby distance ourselves from Okunomo’s activities,” the statement read in parts,” the statement read.
The university also faulted the use of its premises and address as where the office of the Senate President of NANS is located.
It added that students of the university are currently on break having concluded their academic year.
It called on the general public to disregard any statement linking it with the call for protest.
It would be recalled that Okunomo had issued a statement after the Federal Government hiked the price of petrol from N615 to N895, saying his group would shutdown the country, if the price hike was not reversed.
