Students of Delta State tertiary institutions and their parents have protested over the imposition of a compulsory N10,000 fee on them by the schools’ authorities.

The University had asked students to pay a compulsory fee tagged "upgrade of COVID-19 facilities".

Returning students at the University, Abraka, both undergraduate and diploma students for the 2019/2020 academic session are to pay a compulsory non-negotiable fee of N5,000 each while postgraduate students are to pay N10,000 each.

The institution also noted that the payment, which applied to the three campuses of the institution, Oleh, Abraka and Anwai, must be paid before students are allowed for academic activities.

The institution also clearly stated that this compulsory fee is to enable management plan for the health and safety of the students in the use of lecture halls and ensure proper precautionary measures are taken in the allocation of students in the halls for the second semester examination in line with the Federal Ministry of Education and NCDC COVID-19 guidelines.

Students and parents have protested against the COVID-19 charges, describing the payment as "extortion of the highest order".

Nigeria govt is the most insensitive in the world.
