At least 8,000 final year students of Rivers State University are currently protesting against the school management’s “no school fees, no exams” policy.
The examination started on Monday and students who could not pay their school fees were asked to leave the examination hall.
The students were seen on Tuesday, carrying placards and protesting along the highway, while calling on the state government to prevail on the school authorities to reverse the draconian policy.
A protesting student said, “My father is a pensioner and the Rivers state government has not paid his allowance and pension arrears.
