The Students Union Government (SUG) of the University of Jos has announced the suspension of school fees payment for all students in protest of the recent increase in tuition fees for new students.
The SUG stated that the new tuition fees, which have risen exponentially from ₦51,500 to ₦162,000, are unjustifiable and place an undue burden on students and their families. The union has called for a reversal of the fee increase and has vowed to take further action if the university management fails to address the issue promptly.
The SUG has directed all students to withhold payment of their school fees until a resolution is reached. Additionally, the union has called for a show of solidarity, urging all students to wear black attire on campus.
Other measures announced by the SUG include the suspension of departmental and faculty charges, as well as the suspension of SUG dues. The union has also called for the collection of solidarity tags, which will be made available to students.
The SUG has emphasized that its actions are aimed at protecting the interests of students and ensuring that the university management is held accountable for its decisions. The union has urged all students to remain united and committed to the cause, stating that "our strength lies in our unity."
