UNICROSS Students Protest “No Fees, No Examinations” Policy.
Yesterday witnessed a demonstration at the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) as students voiced their strong opposition to the recently implemented “No Fees, No Examinations” policy. The policy, which prevents students with outstanding fees from participating in examinations, has ignited widespread discontent amongst the student body.
Protesting students marched across campus, carrying placards and voicing concerns regarding the financial burden imposed by the university. Slogans like “Education is a Right, Not a Privilege” underscored the core argument against the policy.
Student representatives articulated the financial hardships faced by many, emphasizing the need for alternative solutions that do not impede academic progress. The university’s silence on the matter, exemplified by the refusal of University spokesman Onen Onen to comment, has further fueled student frustration. The situation remains unresolved, with the potential for continued unrest if a mutually agreeable solution is not reached.
