Students at Michael Okpara University of Agriculture have taken to protesting against what they claim is an increase in tuition fees and the refusal of access to examination halls by the school administration.

The protest unfolded on Tuesday morning on the university campus, with students demanding a rollback of all fee hikes.

Academic activities were disrupted as the protest intensified following the directive from school authorities to bar students who had not paid the new fees from entering exam halls to sit for their papers. A video circulating online captured scenes of aggrieved students obstructing the convoy of the vice chancellor and causing damage to school property.
