A group of students from the University of Lagos (UNILAG) protested against a recent hike in tuition fees on Wednesday, September 6, 2023. The protest, which was organized by the Student Solidarity Group Against Fee Hike, took place at the university's main gate.
The students were carrying placards and chanting slogans, demanding that the university authorities rescind the decision to increase fees. They argued that the hike was insensitive to the plight of many Nigerian families who are struggling to make ends meet.
"It is absolutely ridiculous and insensitive for university authorities to increase school fees at this time," said Femi Adeyeye, one of the leaders of the protest group. "Nigerians are facing a lot of challenges, including poverty, hunger, and unemployment. Many families cannot afford to send their children to university."
The university authorities have not yet commented on the protest. However, the UNILAG management had earlier said that the fee hike was necessary to improve the quality of education at the university.
The protest is the latest in a series of demonstrations against tuition hikes in Nigerian universities. In recent years, there have been protests at universities across the country, including the University of Ibadan, the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and the University of Lagos.
The students' right to protest is protected by the Nigerian Constitution. However, the government has a responsibility to ensure that protests are peaceful and that the rights of all citizens are respected.
