University of Jos students have continued their protests today
following yesterday's chaos in the school over what they say is a 100%
increase in school fees.......bad governance...
The students say the fee was N27,800 but has now been increased to 60000. 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.
Due his refusal to speak with students, they took to
the streets to protest, blocking all roads leading to the university of
Jos campus thereby bringing activities to a halt even the
exams that was meant to start yesterday 24th November.
. The protesting students set fire in front of
the
school gate this afternoon, insisting that school authority must reduce
their fees.
