The Students
of University of Jos held a 2-days protest over what they say is a 100%hike
in school fees.
The
protesting students set fire in front of the school gate insisting that the
school authority must reduce their fees and lamenting that the fee skyrocketed
from N27, 800 to N60,000.
They also
say they were forced to pay for developmental levy which has never been used
for any development within the university.
They said
all effort by the student union government to speak with the
Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Hayward Babale Mafuyai, was met
with a brick wall as the VC refused to negotiate with the students
The refusal
of the VC to speak with students resulted to the street protests.
The
protesting students blocked all roads leading to University of Jos thereby
bringing all activities to a standstill.
All
university activities was also boycotted including the exams that was meant to
start on 24th November.
