Kaduna State University (KASU) students on Tuesday blocked the main road leading to the Government House in Kaduna, the state capital in protest over an increase in their tuition fees.
KASU recently announced an increase of its annual school fee of N26,000 by almost 600%.
According to the proposed new tuition fees, indigenous students studying social science courses are to pay about N150,000 while their counterparts in medicine and other science courses will pay between N170,000 and above as annual fees.
The students lamented that the hike in some courses to N300,000 and N400,000 from N36,000 will force many of them to drop out of school.
They, therefore, demanded a reversal of tuition fees.
