WE WILL NOT CONDONE ANY FEE INCREMENT FROM ANY INSTITUTION, NANS warns

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) have said giving the biting and excruciating hardship Nigerian Students, their parents and indeed majority of Nigerians are going through, it will not condone any appearances or semblance of fee increment from any tertiary institution, not to talk of a fee increment proper.

In a statement signed by NANS National Assistant Secretary General (ASG), Comr. Omede Sunday, who said, "the attention of NANS have been drawn to a rumour of a plan to increase school and or accommodation fees by the management of tertiary institutions in Nigeria".

"Should this rumor be true, we call on such tertiary institutions to think again and drop the idea. However, should tertiary institutions be inconsiderate to the plight of suffering Nigerians and go head to make any such increment, NANS

will not hesitate to mobilize Nigerian Students to a mother of all protests and shut down any such institution".

"The leadership of National Association of Nigerian Students hereby emphatically state and wishes to make it aboundantly known that we will not condone any of such increment and if any institution should go against this advisory, they will have us to contend with", Comrade Sunday Onuche, averred.
