Students of the faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), on Friday held a protest at the Nsukka campus of the institution over 50 percent increment of their school fees, unutilised N20,000 developmental fee and other outrageous charges by the faculty and school managements.
The protesters carried placards with various inscriptions including “Our parents now see us as liars. Reduce the prices of please,” “Too much billing. Are we sugar daddies?” “How can one manual be costlier than one Indomie carton?” “I dey see same thing for MCB Microscope with or without slide. Wetin una dey develop? #Scrap development fee,” amongst others.
He further explained that “Before the school fees increment, the management of Pharmacy faculty said that they needed a developmental fee and they negotiated with the former Vice Chancellor and we agreed to pay N20,000 for the developmental fee apart from the increased school fees. “This year, everything became worse. We no longer have water and light to do practicals in the laboratory. We now buy fuel every time to power our electric generating set to do our practicals. There is no light in our classrooms. A classroom that is supposed to contain about 200 students, we will have more than 500 students in one classroom and everybody will be sweating because there is no fan. In the hostel, there is no light.
