Students of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) have staged another protest barely a week after it protested the hike in their tuition fees.
They called the school authorities and the federal government to keep to the old rate.
The protest was supported by the Students Solidarity Group Against Fees’ Hike in alliance with the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS).
The protest was peaceful compared to the first one which was disrupted as the security operatives including the police, Nigeria Civil Defence Corps and the school’s security personnel barricaded the entrance gate and clamped down on some of the protesters. The police teargassed, swooped and arrested some of the students.
However, the students reconvened a week after the first protest was disrupted by security operatives as colleagues from other universities joined them in solidarity.
