Police fires tear gas as UNILAG students protest hike in school fees

Pandemonium broke out at University road leading to the University of Lagos state this morning, September 6, after men of the Nigerian Police fired teargas to disperse students of the University of Lagos protesting a hike in their school fees.

Members of the National Association of Nigerian Students had announced plans to protest against the recent hike in tuition fees in the school on September 6. This morning, the students were unable to gather at the entrance of the school as men of the state police command had taken over the entrance of the school. The students then moved to the beginning of the road leading to the school.
