BREAKING: Tension In UI As Students Protest Hike In School Fees (PHOTOS)

Students at the University of Ibadan, Oyo State, have launched a protest over a significant increase in school fees.

The demonstration began early on Friday in response to a recent decision by the institution’s governing council to raise fees.

The council approved the fee hike during a meeting on Thursday, prompting students to take action. According to students who spoke on the issue, the fee increases exceed 100%.

Students have boycotted classes and are actively preventing others from attending until the fees are reduced.

A student from the Department of Human Nutrition, who spoke anonymously to avoid intimidation, revealed that fees increased from N58,000 in the 2022/2023 session to N138,350 for the current session.

Similarly, a student from the Department of Animal Science reported that fees rose from N70,000 to N150,000. Many returning students have yet to pay the new fees and are participating in the protest, which has disrupted lectures.
