PARENTS and students have told the federal government not to think the agitation for a reduction in the fees payable by students in institutions of learning in the country is over with the resolution of the impasse between the management of the University of Lagos, UNILAG, and the student body.
They also said the only way out is for the government to fund education appropriately and adequately and not allow children of the poor lose access to education.
The parents, under the aegis of the National Parent Teacher Association of Nigeria, NAPTAN, spoke in a chat with Vanguard through their National President, Alhaji Haruna Danjuma, while the students did through the Southwest Coordinator of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, Comrade Alao John, yesterday.
While acknowledging the reduction in some fees announced by UNILAG at the weekend as part of the efforts to ameliorate the sufferings of parents and students, they said the effort was still far from their expectations.
