University of Jos Students Take to Streets in Protest Against Fee Hike
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In a move echoing the recent protest at the University of Lagos, students from the University of Jos in Plateau State took to the streets on Tuesday to voice their grievances. Their primary concern? The institution’s decision to hike school fees and increase charges for various services.

The protest, orchestrated by leaders of the Students Union Government, demanded an immediate rollback of these fee increases. Students, brandishing placards inscribed with messages like “If your children can afford the money, we can’t,” and “We don’t want to drop out of school,” passionately expressed their discontent.

Their argument was clear: With Nigeria already grappling with significant economic hardships, further fee hikes would only exacerbate the situation. Interestingly, this dispute arises despite the federal government’s commitment to tuition-free education in its universities. However, universities continue to cite various “charges” as grounds for fee hikes.

It’s worth noting that earlier this year, other Nigerian tertiary institutions, such as the University of Benin (UNIBEN), University of Abuja (UNIABUJA), and the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID), followed a similar path by increasing their fees.

In the broader context, these protests highlight the challenges facing Nigerian students. Unemployment rates are high, and some educational programs fail to provide job opportunities. Consequently, students are being asked to pay substantial amounts for courses that may not guarantee them gainful employment upon graduation.

The recent demonstrations at the University of Jos reflect a nationwide sentiment of frustration among Nigerian students. They contend that in a country already struggling economically, exorbitant educational fees only add to their burdens. The call for change reverberates not only in Plateau State but across Nigeria, where the pursuit of education is increasingly seen as a challenging endeavor.
