On Tuesday, some University of Lagos students took to the streets to protest the institution’s tuition rate increase.
This is the UNILAG students’ second protest in a week, and they are joined by colleagues from other universities.
Protesters took to the streets, chanting primarily about the need for school officials to decrease tuition prices.
The students were escorted by Nigerian police officers and members of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
Some of the students who spoke with media said they will continue to protest until their school fees are returned to status quo.
They said the hike in their fees did not have 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 UNILAG authorities had in July announced hike tuition fees for new and returning undergraduate students.
The the institution had hinged the move on what it described as the “prevailing economic realities”.
