There is a massive protest ongoing at the Federal University of Agriculture (renamed Michael Okpara University of Agriculture), Umudike in Abia State.

Reports say the protest had been brewing for months owing to the sharp increment in school fees at the end of last year.

Added to that, the University Management under the Vice Chancellor, Professor Maduebibisi Ofo Iwe, had commenced the implementation of a Biometric exercise that will restrict students who hadn't paid their school fees from partaking in the examination.

With the exams starting yesterday, the VC and his team went from hall fo hall, sending out students who defaulted, with some who really had paid affected by the inconsistency of the Biometric system.

However today, the students took laws into their hands, pounced on the VC, chased him out of the hall, destroying properties of the University amid teargas and gunshots from the school security.

The students were seen chanting "No Gree For Anybody", "we no go gree o"... chasing the VC, throwing stones and sticks at his official vehicle.

The University has been indefinitely shut down as students have taken over the Umuahia-Ikot Ekpene Road, putting on bonfires, etc.

Iwe, a Professor of Food Science & Technology, is a former Head of Department, a former Dean of Students Affairs, and a former Deputy VC (Academics) of the Institution.

People 1:0 Government.

This administration will favor me and my family.

In my school, the management charge us for everything possible. We have been paying constant 4k , 5k for school ID card since I was in 100 level ID card w no see. Not to mention school fee and crazy other charges that the school and it’s officials are stealing
Cost of living is very high and it has even skyrocketed since Tinubu won the election
Bag of pure water is 900
3Kg gas is 4000 and many more
May God punish the VC Nigeria Maritime University

Consequences of denial of people an opportunity to elect their leaders. The chaos, hunger, hardship, hopelessness and anger all over the country is the direct result of the February 2023 falsified election results because the mandate thief has exposed himself as nothing more than a dunce and only skilled in criminality. After the rigged elections in February 2023 Femi Adeshina said Nigerians will miss buhari. Femi is a veteran journalist of almost 30 years who knew tinubu battle with gani Fawehimi of blessed memory over tinubu drug case, identity theft, certificate forgery etc so he knew tinubu even if you give him 30 years have nothing to offer Nigeria. A new Nigeria is possible with Peter Obi

Looks like the hunger is specially dealing with you.

I see the way you always attack Yoruba people because of Tinubu. Northerners too were not spared your insults because we gave him our votes.

We should learn to attack issues, appraise policies and leave ethnic shaming.

Give them some agbado to calm their nerves

Ok

Spirit of Unknown Gunmen!

You mean billionaires no fit pay school fees?

Some of them that are owing are on Nairaland boasting that North and West are hungry, while they are lounging and chilling.

But we know better. The secret could not be contained for so long.

Some of them do not even know that they were sold to the parents they have come to know.
