Some parents of students of Federal University, Lokoja, FUL, Kogi state, have kicked against alleged plan by the Federal University, Lokoja, FUL, to hike school fees and other charges.

The leader of the concerned parents, Mr Moses Abraham, who gave the hint while addressing Journalists in Lokoja on Tuesday on the issue,called on the Senate of the university to rescind the decision in interest of peace and economic quagmire confronting Nigerians, especially parents

He expressed concern that if allowed to materialise, the increment in school fees and others charges would add to the financial burden of parents and deny the children of the poor access to university education, inview of the current harsh economic reality of in the country.

He further told the Journalists that student accommodation, per bed space, presently at N20,000 had also attracted additional N40,000, adding the price of GST handbook had increased from N1,500 to N6,500 per copy.
