On May 27, the authorities there suspended five student union leaders
for a session. These measures have been taken against the students
because they have been leading a struggle against increases in
university fees.
It all began when the Prof. Rogers-led university management indicated
their intention to blow up the payable fees in the university from
N590.00 to N4,500 for the old students and from N1,500 to N9,500 for
the new students. The crisis has been lingering since then.
