The university of Port Harcourt students went on a Protest
this morning. The students were supposed to begin their first semester exams
today the 11th of April, but things turned out differently when they
were stopped from writing their exams for failure to pay their school fees.
Sources gathered that the University just increased the
school fees of the Institution from #17,000 to #45,000. This new school fees
structure has made it difficult for the students to pay their fees, not forgetting
the Economic crisis the country seems to be in.
The students decided to go on a protest this morning to
fight for their rights, because if they aren’t allowed to write their exams
they would have set backs in their academics, not forgetting the final year
students that would have an automatic extra year.
These are my thoughts (Truth) on this issue;
1.
The federal Government haven’t paid workers
their salary yet.
2.
How are parents supposed to pay their children’s
school fees?
3.
For crying out loud, this is a Federal
University! There should be some sort of understanding…
Things shouldn’t have gotten to
this level, based on the picture above…
well, just saying…
