Kaduna Varsity Students To Sign Undertaking Not To Protest Fees Increment

• Before the increment, the fees were ₦24,000 and ₦26,000 for indigenes, depending on the course of study

The management of Kaduna State University (KASU) have decided that parents and guardians must sign an undertaking that their children and wards will not participate in a protest against an increase in their school fees.

It warned that any student who participates in such protests would be expelled.

The university students have, for weeks, been protesting against the tuition fees increment, demanding the state government reverse it to enable indigent students to study to the university level.

The Kaduna state government has hiked the tuition fees to between ₦300,000 and ₦400,000 from ₦36,000. But the protesting students said many of them cannot afford the fees.

Following the faceoff, the university, through the registrar, Samuel Mancho, directed parents/guardian to sign the undertaking that their children would abide by all the rules and regulations of the university.

The undertaking reads in part: “I hereby write to assure you that my Son/Daughter/Ward will obey all the rules and regulations of his/her department and faculty as well as the university at large.

“I also pledge that my Son/Daughter/Ward should be expelled without warning if he/she engages in any demonstration/protest against the increment in tuition fees or any contrary activities of the university rules and regulations.”

Meanwhile, the university, on its Facebook page, denied the document, saying it is ‘fake’.
