Students of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN are getting even more agitated over the compulsory N75,000 levy being requested of them by the school management.
According toToday, the students have urged the Minister of Education,Malam Adamu Adamu, to intervene on the matter. The students of the school have described the policy as “corruption of the highest order.”
It has been previously reported that the students were uncomfortable with paying this new fees. The management, in a bid to compromise, assured them that the N75, 000 laptop fee can be paid installmentally. The students still maintained their stance, with one of them saying, “it is so sad that they are making education so difficult for the poor.'
“With this policy, we would now be paying close to N200,000 in a federal university per session. This is wickedness.

“As I speak to you, I’m helpless because my parents don’t have that kind of money. It is wrong for anyone to make computer ownership compulsory. It should be a matter of choice. The management should not use us to make money.”
The students have urged the Education minister to look into the issue.
“We are begging the minister to urgently intervene because they are turning this university into a marketplace.
“If the vice chancellor is interested in doing laptop business, he should find a market for it without placing such a burden on poor students.
“Some of our parents are leaving on N18,000 minimum wage; now they want them to pay N200,000 as school fees for one session. This is wickedness of the highest order. Computer ownership should be by choice,” another student stated
