Protesting students of Benue State University in Makurdi, have shutdown the university campus and the Makurdi-Gboko federal highway over a 100% school fee increment for new entrants.
The President of the Student Union Government, Mr Ojime Martins, told Channels Television that the increment from 62,000 Naira to over 130,000 Naira for law students was outrageous.
The students are demanding for a reversal to the old school fees.
After hours at the highway and a surge on the university gate, the Deputy Vice Chancellor in charge of administration, Professor Ashikor, pleaded with the students to send a delegation for a peace meeting.
He expressed hopes that an agreement would be reached at the meeting.
