The students, armed with placards with inscriptions like: “We want a secured future for all students; Give us the education you were given; Say no to exorbitant tuition fees; This government does not care about students and Say no to Education Loan Bill” among others, lamented the likely impact the hike in tuition fees may have on education in the north.

The National Coordinator of Coalition of Northern Group Students Wing , Emuseh Gimba Bokunga, said: “The hike in universities’ tuition fees, if left unchecked, will lead to massive dropouts including returning millions of youths in the region to the streets as new students will have to give up their dreams of acquiring higher education.
The students demand a concerted action to checkmate the unfolding scenario by ensuring an immediate downward review of tuition fees across universities in the North.
