The restoration of electricity supply in Ijesaland has commenced. It will soon get to all the communities.
Governor Oyetola advised the students to desist from taking the law into their hands and to exploit legitimate channels to pursue their grievances.
He warned that the government would not tolerate any resort to violence in expression of any grievance
The Institutions are: Osun State College of Education, Ilesa; the School of Health Technology, Ilesa; and the Osun State College of Technology, Esa Oke.
