Fee Hike: Nigerian university students protest despite reduction announcement

The students occupied the gate and carried placards with different inscriptions, calling for further reductions.

According to a statement it released to confirm the decrease in fees, the university said it slashed the fees for students in humanities from N89,200 to N76,000 for returning students and N131,000 for new students. He said: “We want a 50 per cent reduction by the management and by the federal government. The fees are too exorbitant. Before, we were paying N10,000 as hostel fees. Now, we’re asked to pay N30,000. The fees are not justifiable.“Currently, I’m at OAU with the school union and students and we will be here until our demands are met.
