UNILAG students stage another protest over tuition hike
Some students of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) hit the streets on Tuesday to protest the increment in tuition fees of the institution.
This is the second protest in one week by the UNILAG students, and this time, they were joined by their colleagues from other universities.
Channels Television reports that the protesters hit the street with chants centrally on the need for the school authorities to reduce the fees.
To ensure the protest is not hijacked, they were accompanied by the men of the Nigerian police Force and those of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.
Some of the students participating in the procession said they would continue to protest until their school fees are returned to the status quo.
They said the hike in their fees did not have a human face.
They are also asking the Federal Government to invest the proceeds from the subsidy removal on education rather than allow any increment in school fees.
The school fee has been reportedly increased from N25,000 to N200,000
