UNN Students Cry Out Over N75,000 Laptop Fee by LilNetty(m): 5:53am On Dec 02, 2015 |
ENUGU—Students of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN,
yesterday, urged the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu
Adamu to quickly intervene over the compulsory laptop fee
foisted on them by the university authority.
New students of the university, who spoke to newsmen in
separate interviews, described the N75,000 compulsory laptop
levy as arbitrary.
It was gathered that the university administration had recently
introduced a mandatory policy, wherein all the students are
being forced to own a laptop.
One of the new students described the policy as inhuman,
noting that, “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.”
Also speaking another student called on the education minister
to call the vice chancellor to order.
“We are begging the minister to urgently intervene because
they are turning this university to a market place.
“If the vice chancellor is interested in doing laptop business, he
should find a market for it, not placing such 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. This computer
ownership should be by choice,” he stated. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/12/unn-students-cry-out-over-n75000-laptop-fee/ |
