FUPRE students block East-West road over alleged hike in tuition.
Some students of the Federal University of Petroleum Resources,FUPRE in Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State on Wednesday, blocked the East-West road including all access into the University campus protesting over an alleged hike in tuition fees.
The students who carried placards, danced along the road chanting solidarity songs.
President of the Student Union Government, SUG Etinosa in a telephone chat with our reporter said the union is not part of the protest. “No!!!We are not part of the protest.”
Etinosa said,”I have talked to the students and I asked them to calm down. I have pushed their complaints to the Management. Both the Management and the students have just put me in the middle. To be very honest, this thing is tiring.”
FUPRE Vice Chancellor, Prof. Agbalagba in a telephone chat with our correspondent confirmed the protest but denied knowing the students involved.
He said the protesting students are faceless people and unknown to the Student Union Government, and that the school’s management had not concluded negotiations with the SUG as to the exact fee students are to pay in about five meetings they’ve had.
“They’re not student union leadership. SUG is not part of what they’re doing.
According to him,”We heard issues of review fee charges and we’ve been having meetings with the student union leaders. We’ve had five(5)meetings. We’ve not concluded.
