Some students of Abia State University under the auspicies of Abia Joint Students Leaders, have appealed to the state Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu to reduce their tuition fees instead of paying them the N30,000 pocket money he promised.
The students who made this known in a press briefing yesterday, also urged the governor to extend the gesture to students of other institutions in the state.
“…instead of the Bursary Allocation of thirty thousand naira (N30,000,00) to each Abia student, we kindly appeal for the school fees to be reduced and hence deducted directly as it will also give more credence and hope to Abia students in various Institutions in Abia State,” they said.
The governor had few days ago promised to gift students of Abia state in the state-owned University 30,000 each after they were told to pay N15,000 as pandemic prevention upon resumption.
