Anarchy seems to have taken over in Lagos State with University students of the 2 Universities in the states taking to the streets to voice their frustrations about the incredibly high hike in tution fees.Yesterday the students of LASU started it and now the Unilag students have followed suit.
A riot is currently taking place according to witnesses and here are some pictures to confirm that report.
Students are protesting against UNILAG authority demanding that some students pay N25,000/$152 for late registration, N20,000/$122 for editing of courses and N15,000/$91 for convocation gown!
The students first converged at the University’s Senate Building where they shouted slogans and sang protest songs, demanding that the school ends this form of exploitation today, while accusing their VC of corruption. They left the senate building and went on a rampage through all the faculties in UNILAG demanding their rights.
The students then blocked entrances to the school, preventing cars from going in and out of the campus.
The students claim they registered late because the school management shut the school portal against
registration, only for the school to demand an extra N20,000/N25,000 from students registering late.
