University of Maiduguri Students Appeal for Waivers Amid Economic Hardship

Students of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) are urging the university's management to grant waivers to those who graduated with one or two spillover sessions, citing the severe economic challenges facing the nation.

According to Comr. Nasiruddeen Bar-Bar, the students are seeking a compassionate intervention to ease the financial and social burdens many of them face. "Considering the current economic hardship, we respectfully request that the school management grant waivers to students with one spillover. This will provide significant relief and support during these trying times."

The students emphasized the difficulties they have endured due to the nation's challenging circumstances and urged the university authorities to act sympathetically. The appeal underscores the need for understanding and support as students and graduates strive to navigate their academic and financial challenges amidst the prevailing economic realities.

This development comes as universities across Nigeria face increasing pressure to support students affected by the country's economic downturn. The University of Maiduguri, established in 1975, is one of the nation's premier institutions of higher learning .
