UNIJOS in chaos as students protest hike in school fees

Students of the University of Jos continued their
protests today following yesterday's chaos in the
school over what they say is a 100% increase in
school fees. The protesting students set fire in
front of the school gate this afternoon, insisting
that school authority must reduce their fees.
The students say the fee was N27,800 but has
now been increased to #60,000. 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.
Following his refusal to speak with students,
they took to the streets to protest, blocking all
roads leading to the university of Jos thereby
bringing all activities to a standstill. All
university activities was also boycotted
including the exams that was meant to start
yesterday 24th November.
