Meanwhile,

It could be recalled that Students of UNN had protested the 100 percent hike in school fees.

Myschoolnews confirmed that the University administration had published a memo on Thursday, 1 December 2022

specifying categories of fees to be paid by its students.

The memo indicated that fresh students across the faculties in the university are to pay a consolidated fee of N114,650 – N120,650, while older students are expected to pay between N85,000 – N95,000.

Myschoolnews gathered that before the new development, old students in the institution paid a fee of N40,000, and new students N83,000.

Speaking to Myschoolnews on the development, the SUG President, Comrade Abuchi Michael, said the students are uncomfortable with the increase.

“The students’ reaction is simple – we are not comfortable with the increment; even though the increment is inevitable, the amount they increased it to is too high. They doubled it, like a 105 percent increment, so it’s much.
