The vendors of 'As E dey hot' snacks, situated beside the Univerity Health Center of the Obafemi Awolowo University, have increased the prices of its varieties of snacks. The increase in the snacks's payment took effect as of Monday, November 13th. 'As E dey Hot' is famously known for its hot snacks; puff-puff, egg-buns, buns, risky, etc.

OAU Kilonshele Reporter gathered that the snacks have increased from their initial price 
Buns and Puff: ₦80 each, ₦150 for 2
Doughnuts: ₦200 each
Eggbuns: ₦300 each.

Meanwhile, before the increase, the amounts of varieties of snacks were;
Buns and Puff: ₦50 each
Doughnuts: ₦150 each
Eggbuns: ₦250 each

This development has sparked reactions among students, with many expressing their concerns about the sudden increase in snack prices. 

A Part 3 student of Computer Science and Engineering, AbdMalik described the recent hike as insensitive, while he compared it to the plight being faced by students on campus.
"The recent increase in the price of 'As E Dey Hot' is insensitive during this period of hike in school fees and increase in foodstuff prices. When I was in Part 1, buns were sold for #20 each and now it's being sold for #80 each. They should be eating their buns and puff-puff themselves." AbdMalik said.

Speaking with OAU Kilonshele, one of the workers, Caleb Abiodun stated that the increase in the cost of raw materials for the production of the snacks led to the increase in price of the snacks. He therefore urges students to endure with the management of 'As E dey Hot' and adhere to the new prices.
