In breaking reports, some UNILAG students who were holding a protest over the outrageous hike in school fees from 19,000 naira to 190,000 naira have been chased and tear gased by officers of the Nigerian Police.
It’d be recalled that subsidy on education had been removed some months ago by the present administration following the introduction of student loan.
Following this move, federal institutions in the country have witnessed a massive hike in tuition, causing parents and students alike to express displeasure.
