A member of the Student Union Government, SUG, who did not want his name disclosed, told Newsmen that the students are unhappy with the hike.
“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.

“That is what we are agitating for – there should be a reduction. And compared to other federal universities, you would see that we pay higher unless we do not go on strike again. Unless we are going to take up the responsibility of settling ASUU and all that, we won’t be going on strike like other federal universities, then the amount is ok. Students are saying that if we will not be going on strike, the amount is ok,” he said.
Meanwhile, the university’s public relations officer stated that he was out of town and unable to comment on the situation.
