UNEC students protest over fee increase


Students of the Enugu Campus of the University of Nigeria (UNEC) have thronged in front of the main gate of the elite university, to protest the sudden sharp increment in their tuition fees.

A student said, “We in FHST (Faculty of Health Science and Technology) are now told we’ll be paying 46,650K against the 31,650 we paid last year. And they claim it is for the lousy lionet (campus internet service) even those that don’t have laptops are being made pay and not use the network. And besides, it’s so slow!”

According to most students, the story is the same and the consensus strong. They insist they won’t go back to the classrooms until the N12,000 increase is reversed by the University administration
