Another university in Nigeria might be shutdown after University of Lagos was shutdown by authorites following protest from students of the school. Students of University of Port Harcourt have blocked all entry and exit leading into the school in protest of the hike in the university’s tuition fee and other levies. The protest started as early as 5.00am barricaded all access roads leading to the institution, including the major East-West road and the Choba-Uniport road.
“we pay the highest amount of school fees in Nigeria. Among all the Federal Universities in this country, UNIPORT pays highest. They will still ask us to pay faculty dues, departmental dues, exam registration fees and many others. “We are sick and tired of all these payments. They even went ahead to issue a deadline for these payments not considering that things are hard for our parents. “We decided to embark on this protest today because 1st semester exams are supposed to start today and what we have done is to stop it from holding,” a student of the university was quoted in the media.
