The planned increment of school fees by tertiary institutions in the country has been condemned by the National Association of Nigerian Students.
In a statement signed by the National PRO, Giwa Temitope and released on Saturday, NANS declared that the government’s action is “insensitive” and “embarrassing”.
The association also stressed that the government has what it takes to fund education and make it accessible, noting that the introduction of the student loan scheme is a sham and a bait to make Nigerians accept fee increments.
The association stated that there is no justification for an increase in school fees across tertiary institutions and Unity schools.
It demanded that the increase in school fees should be suspended, adding that those who have implemented the policy should reverse it immediately.
