Gov. Peter Obi Increases Ansu School Fees To N230,000 by Slimboy94(op): 11:25pm On Oct 02, 2012

The excitment of fresh students that was given
admission was abruptly interupted by the
uprecedented upsurge in ANSU fresh students
school fees. Many of the students was thrown into
pandemonium at the manner of impromptu
increment in school fees of the institution.
It should be recalled that earlier this year, ANSU
students in Uli campus of the institution staged a
riot to protest uncomfortably one hundred and
nineteen thousand naira(N119000) for non-
professional course students and one hundred and
twenty nine thousand naira (N129000) for
professional course students, many academic staff
offices including that of the vice chancellor of the
university were burnt and crucial documents were
lost.
It should be noted that attempt by the school
security agents known as anti-cult to curtail the
angry protesting students were impeded by
enormous stone-missile rained upon them by the
rioting students which caused them to took to their
hills. It took the combined effort of state anti-
robbery squard with their armoured personal carrier
and other governmental security agencies to
brought the situation under control. Gunshots were
persistently fired on air, rubber bullets were also
targeted on students and tear-gas was also used to
dislodge the students.
At the evening, the school environment was left
solitary with charred remains of burnt anti-cult
vehicle and burnt roofs littered the school
premises. Before the one hundred and nineteen
thousand naira and one hundred and twenty nine
thousand naira(#119000 and #129000) school fees
increment, Gov peter obi was quoted saying
"Education in Anambra state is not meant for the
poor".
It's disheartening to announce to fresh and existing
students of the institution the present increment in
school fees to two hundred and thirty thousand
naira(#230000) by the school management.
It is overwhelming the hardship caused by this
increment and the students wish to ask Gov Peter
Obi and the school management this question; Do
you realize that over 65% of parents in Anambra
state are peasant farmers who hardly feed their
family, how would they realize the huge sum to pay
their children school fees?
How many industries have your administration set
up since you assume office, to provide employment
for unemployed Anambrarians?
How much are you paying the state civil servants?
It's only when you critically analyze these questions
that you will know the agony you have throne
upon the people of Anambra especially the
students of Anambra state university.
