Ogun State Government has directed the Governing Council of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago Iwoye, to close down the institution.
The order is with immediate effect.
A statement on Saturday, signed by Mr. Taiwo Adeoluwa, Secretary to State Government, said the decision to shut the university was taken in the overall interest of peace and order.
The government said students of the institution have continued to issue threats while rejecting all entreaties and concessions made by the government on their various demands concerning the recently announced reduction of school fees.
It advised all parents whose wards are students of the university to immediately call them to order as the government will not tolerate any act that will disturb the peace being enjoyed by the people of the state.
