Polytechnic students protest hike in tuition fee

Students of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic in Owo, Ondo state were seen this morning July 7th on the Owo/Abuja expressway protesting the recent hike in their school fees.

The students of the state-owned school complained bitterly about how the management of the school recently increased the annual school fees of students of National Diploma in sciences from ₦21,300 to N58,300 and ND students from ₦53,800 to 73,000. Non-indegenes are also to pay a new levy of N20,000. The angry students locked up the offices of the rector, Prof. Igbekele Ajibefun and thereafter took over the express road to drive home their anger.

It would be recalled that just recently, Obafemi Awolowo University was shut down  indefinitely due to the protest the students had to bear their minds on the school fees hike also.
