Nigeria: North-West Varsity Students Protest Over High Fees

20 February 2013

Kano — Newly admitted students of North-west University, Kano, have protested over what they called high registration fees. Students of Science department are to pay about N75, 000 while those of Social and Management Sciences are to pay about N70, 000. Non indigenes on the other hand are to pay about N131, 000 for science and about N122, 000 for other faculties.

The students who visited media houses to express their grievances said the fees were unimaginable considering the current financial constraints. Some of the students that spoke with Daily Trust on condition of anonymity said charging such fees compared to the N17,000 paid in the Kano University of Science and Technology and N25, 000 in Bayero University was unacceptable.
