UNILAG students protest hike in registration fee, shut down campus

There's a protest currently going on at the University of Lagos. Students are protesting UNILAG authority demanding that some students pay N20,000 for late editing or registration of Course Forms.

The students first converged at the University's Senate Building where they shouted slogans and sang protest songs, demanding that the school ends this form of exploitation today, while accusing their VC of corruption. They left the senate building and went on a rampage through all the faculties in UNILAG demanding their rights.

The students then blocked entrances to the school, preventing cars from going in and out of the campus.

The students claim they registered late because the school management shut the school portal against registration, only for the school to demand an extra N20,000 from students registering late. The police are currently there to calm things down.

    All these protests by students are not good signals or omen. The masses of this country are being pushed to the elastic limit and their reaction would be catastrophic.

  21. If u dont know what to write. Shut UP your loquacious mouth commentators.

    I am in Unilag. Normally, students do editing of courses before examination.

    Like in my department. The course adviser has advised that we remove a particular course and add another.

    Do I have to pay N20,000 for that?

  24. U expect them to be wailing n smashing their heads? If they did that, some other critic would hv another absurd term to categorize them! Minimum wage is set at 18,000 n they fine students 20,000! If a civil servant had a child amongst these ones u reckon he can afford it!! This lack of comensurate monetary fines vis-a-vis our realities keeps fueling madness! Students would need to may be extort money, sell their bodies or even steal to survive in these financially hostile terrain sometimes! Always remember 70% of nigerians r still very poor! 80 million super poor ppl trying to also cut their teeth in this country! Don't be hasty to trivialise the agitations of these kids,

  71. Unilag is just a scam. They also increased all PG sch fees by an outrageous 50%. We in the MBA exec class now have to pay 900k from 600k for our second yr. The sch authority is clearly deceitful and a bunch of fraudsters. They also charge an extra 10% for late registration while deactivating the portal. Am just so disgusted with the sch and it's gimmicks to make money from students by all means. The sch has since lost its integrity. I had my 1st degree from Unilag and things were diff back then. The sch authority has to get its act together and review these satanic actions they have taken so far.
