The National Association of Nigerian Students Joint Campus Council (NANS JCC), Lagos State says it suspended its planned protest against the hike in UNILAG school fees due to the intervention by the Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa.
Chairman of the association, Alimi Idris in a statement today commended the commissioner for his intervention and assured the police boss of their cooperation while appealing for quick implementation of their agreements.
Earlier, Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said that the commissioner met with the student leaders, promising to meet with the Vice Chancellor of the university to discuss their grievances.
Hundeyin said that the police commissioner also set up a Police-Student Relations Committee (PSRC) to address issues that might arise from the meeting in the future.
Recall on July 20, 2023, the university authorities announced a hike in fees for undergraduate students from N19,000 to N190,250 for students studying medicine, while for courses that require laboratory and studio, students are to pay N140,250.
