A peaceful protest by the Engineering students of the University of Uyo,
Akwa Ibom State, on Wednesday afternoon to the office of the Vice
Chancellor, Prof Comfort Ekpo, after the VC mandated students to pay
N100 for the school bus which used to be free, later turned bloody.
Below are details of why the students were actually protesting:
I hear the school authority had moved most of the Science courses to the school's permanent site which is roughly 20 minutes drive from the main campus, following which buses were provided for free. But the VC unilaterally made the buses N100, which means students, who live inside the school, will have to pay N200 to and fro everyday to the new permanent campus.
