A large number of University of Calabar (Unical) students, on Monday, took to the university campus with placards protesting school fee increment by management of the university.
The university management, on Sunday, published an increment of the school fee from N75,000 to between N109,000 and N160,000 in some of the courses, with those in the medical, allied and physical sciences highest as compared to students in arts and humanities.
The development sparked anger and resentment among students of the Institution, prompting them to take to the campus with placards bearing different inception: “Don’t Force Us Into Prostitution, ‘ VC Never You Force Us Into Yahoo, Yahoo, And Kidnapping To Pay High School fee”; ‘President Tinubu, must not keep mum on this issue.”
The students who marched around the campus in a peaceful demonstration chanting songs as if they were soldiers going to war.
