Universities Sticking To Increment Of School Fees Will Evoke Nationwide Confrontation – NANS

The National Association of Nigerian Students has come out to say that it will storm tertiary institutions that proceed to implement fee hikes across their campuses.

Its executives recently revealed this while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to NANS, university management need to obey the directive of President Bola Tinubu to halt fee hikes on their campuses, else there will be physical consequences.

NANS added that failure to comply with the directive of the Federal Government has to lead to nationwide confrontation.

It read, “We want to seize this moment to warn that failure to comply with the directive of the Federal Government on the matter of fee increment will leave us with no choice but to evoke a nationwide confrontation.”

“We will not only take our protests to the streets, but we will also bring them to your respective university gates.”

“As the umbrella body of the students’ movement, we have swung into action to arrest this inglorious trend of fee hikes, and our interventions which included writing to the Presidency to demand a total halt in the wave of fee hikes had been met with a favourable response.”

“As of this moment, the FG has instructed that all tertiary institutions should immediately shelve any plan to increase fees. It was in response to the letter we wrote the Presidency.”

“However, we are aware of defiant elements amongst many university authorities. It is the reason that we also took the liberty to write to tertiary institutions that have increased fees.”
