The students say the fee was N27,800 but has now been increased to #60,000. They also say they were forced to pay for developmental levy which has never been used for any development within the university. They said all effort by the student union government to speak with the Vice Chancellor of the university Prof. Hayward Babale Mafuyai, was met with a brick wall as the VC refused to negotiate with the students.
Following his refusal to speak with students, they took to the streets to protest, blocking all roads leading to the university of Jos thereby bringing all activities to a standstill. All university activities was also boycotted including the exams that was meant to start yesterday 24th November.
The protests continued today...

From 26 to 60. Outrageous without reason. I don't blame the students for protesting.

After graduating from school, you come out to face unemployment. My five years school fees can start up a lucrative biz.

RUBBISH.THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO THE DAYS WHEN THE VC PAID N75 so that they too can pay 75 naira. how can you compare years ago when there was no computer, inflation comparisons, less qualified lecturers, systems that were not international with today's fees. imagine.
The school fees are even too tiny self, even the 6ok. No wonder many of our Nigerian graduates are so unemployable. garbage in garbage out.
i support...but i pray make the v.p listen quick before student go break one of his leg..God help us all
My Ujay wetin dey happen? Mafuyai was my lecturer and a very shy humble man. Please revert to the old fees, don't spoil the name of our great school. My last fees there was N6,500.

Smh.... So riot is now the way. Onyimadusommy@gmail.com
60k is on the high side, our government should be considerate.
This is very good. We nigerians are beginning to realize our rights

I support my greatest josites! Increment of sch fees every year! Abeg make una protest well well. But u guys should b careful o, before protest turn to crisis!

Great Josites!!!
Make una no alow Boko Haram come join una for that protest oo bcuz I dey see something like bomb fire there.

I support the students but they shud be careful with the medium they are using to show their disapproval.
Anybody familiar with the economy both local and global knows that every thing is on d increase now, it's fair sha, not too much for a uni like dat of unijos compared to we in d state paying close to 100k.
ALUTA CONTINUA...VITORIAL ASCERTA.
todays protest was very painful bc some students were shot including special students.the school authority gave instruction for students to vacate and school shot down indefinately. Pls pray for quick recovery of our students Great Josites
Wow! I paid #4,000 per semester and graduated in 2006. Greatest Josites, what went wrong? My oh my!!!
Today is really a bad day for the josites as military men fire 3 students dead and the student been forced to vacate the hostel plesaes we need Justice as the protest was very peaceful students never destroy any thing, pls we needs justice. Mafuyai Most Go..........................
Student union government(SUG) went to negotiate and all they got was insult and abuses form the VC calling student rascals.if we are rascals that makes him a mafia, barawa wayward . Mafuyai babale haYward.

I am shocked. Like it or not despite the facts ther were no computers then, education was far better than what we have now. so i do not see any base with your statement. Even the VC will tell you same. 90% of the Lecturers we have now are the product of our half baked institutions. the remaining 20% schooled overseas...
Come oo bros,u re very stupid.if u ve any responsibility u no go vomit dat trash from ur mouth,wetin d skul dey giv us wey dem wan increase skul fees,ve u seen d road n lecture rooms? Even d lecturers re against it. If u no knw talk den shut d F up.thunder fire u!!
Ok, first of all, the increase is outrageous. Are you saying the cost of educating the common man is going up instead of spiraling downward? Most especially with all the programs put in place by GEJ. It is quite pathetic.
I was opportuned to go to a private university (name withheld) and also served as a student Representativ. We payed over half a million and weren't getting the basic necessities. We confronted the relevant authorities but yet nothing was done. Quite unfortunately, we rioted too and the school was shut down for over 3months or so. It wasn't a good time but it was necessary. Due to that singular action the school has put things in place till date and although we suffered the consequences then (some of my colleagues and fellow comrades were expelled) the place is better now.
A luta continua, Victoria e certa
