On monday, 24th November 2014 students of University of Jos went on apeaceful protest to demand the removal of the #10,000 developemental levy and a review of some unjustifiable charges by the school management, but the peaceful protest took another dimension when officers of the Nigerian army opened fire on protesting students on the second day of the protest which led to the indefinite closure of the institution.
The senate, in a communique made available to the students, announced the resumption of the institution on the 23rd of February 2015, with some rather unfair conditions.
The communique is thus;

The students won!
Its a moral victory!
Because jos is volatile does not mean we will keep quiet in the face of injustice and oppression...that's why we went on a PEACEFUL protest to make our voice heard, but what did we get in return?...a full scale war against the Nigerian army who's services would av been appreciated in sambisa.

moral victory? .... What's that?

You protested, soldiers warned you guys to disperse before things boil over, you guys refused, some of you were shot dead.. The others ran away to their mummies with their tails between their legs... What 'Victory' are you now talking about?
