Students of Kaduna state university staged a protest earlier today over the hike in school fees by school authorities while calling on the state government and other relevant agencies to come to their aid.
The students informed the state government that the hike in some courses to N300,000 and N400,000 from N36,000 would force many students out of school.
“We are protesting to draw the attention of the state government to revert to the old rates or reduce the fees so that parents and caregiver will be able to pay.
“This is because most of our students find it difficult to pay the old rate and with this increase, only the children of the rich can afford university education in the state institution,’a student leader said.
