The Students of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, on Friday December 2, 2022, took the streets of their school environs to  protested the 100 percent hike in their school fees.

 

 

The protest came barely 24hrs after the school’s administration published a memo, which showed the various categories of fees to be paid by its students.

 

 

The memo indicated that fresh students across the faculties in the university are to pay a consolidated fee of N114,650 – N120,650, while older students are expected to pay between N85,000 – N95,000.

Before the new development, old students in the institution paid a fee of N40,000, and new students N83,000. To protest the increment, students trooped out on campus with leaves in their hands for a demonstration march.

 

 

The students said even if an increment becomes inevitable, a 100% increment is too much and they are calling for a reduction.

Many of the students of UNN, expressed their disagreements and feelings about the increment, via social media posts and comments as they also shared clips from the march
