NANS ZONE "C" NORTH CENTRAL REJECT THE TUITION FEE HIKE IN KOGI STATE POLYTECHNIC, LOKOJA, APPEAL TO MANAGEMENT TO REVERT BACK TO STATUS QUO

 PRESS STATEMENT


 



My attention have drawn to a purported letter in circulation released by the Management of Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, on the recent increment in tuition fee by over 80%. This development is not only worrisome but disturbing. 


Judging by the current economy hardship in the country, where almost all facet of the economy is stagnant, the management of the institution should as a matter of urgency at this critical point in time to suspend this increment, pending the improvement of the economy stability in the country. 


It is a common knowledge that, Nigerian students could not afford the earlier tuition fee due to the economy down-turn, which as a result of that, some have dropped out of school, while some are finding it cumbersome to cope and prays to rounds up the program in earnest. In light the of the above, we reject in it's entirety the unexpected increment and ask for revert to status quo. 


Greatest Nigerian students, while i embark on this struggle, I enjoin you to remain calm and law abiding, as I have already contacted and engaged relevant stakeholders and authorities both in the institution and in government on this regards. 


Dare to struggle, Dare to win

Your's In active struggle,
