MOUAU Students Protests Over Hike in School Fees, Exam Deprivation

Just In — Protest broke out at the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Abia State over hikes in School fees and exam deprivation on failure of students to meet the bill.

Following the demonstration, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Maduebibisi Ofo Iwe was caught fleeing the scene in a viral video on social media as students protested in displeasure over the hardship created by the recent hike in school fees, especially as it causes exam deprivation.

This is a response to the Vice Chancellor chasing students out of the exam hall on the ‘NO SCHOOL FEES, NO EXAM’ Policy.
