The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) in Ogun State on Thursday demanded the immediate reversal of hiked school fees in all state-owned tertiary institutions.
The body lamented that the hike in school fees was targeted at making life unbearable for them and the entire people of the state.
There has been a protest in the last three days by students of the Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED), Ijebu-Ode over the hike in their school fees.

Addressing journalists in Abeokuta, the state capital on Thursday, the NANS chairman, Francis Adeyanju, kicked against what he described as “abnormal” increment in the school fees of all the state-owned tertiary institutions.
The NANS chairman threatened to shut down the state with mass protest if the government fails to reverse the hiked school fees in the next four days.
Adeyanju who was flanked by the National President of National Association of Ogun State Students (NAOSS), Kehinde Mathew, described the increment in school fees as an attempt to prevent vulnerable and indigent students in the State from accessing affordable and qualitative education.
