Education Rights Campaign (ERC) condemns the hike in school fees and repression of protesting students

According to media reports, one student was killed by security operatives while another student is currently in critical condition from the injuries sustained from gunshots. It is crystal clear that the security operatives acted on the order of the Kaduna State Government and the management of Kaduna State College of Education.

Nothing justifies the killing and shooting of innocent and unarmed protesting students who were simply protesting to demand a reversal of a fee hike policy that has the potential to undermine their aspiration for education. This latest attack on students shows Governor El-Rufai is at war with all segment of the oppressed masses. Recall that the same Governor had gone ahead to sack some workers including lecturers at the Kaduna State University for joining a labour strike against mass sack.

Together with its attack on workers in the state, the anti-people administration led by El-Rufai has also embarked on a spree of fraudulent and unjust increment in fees of students. This may result in students dropping out of school while prospective ones may be unable to step foot into the walls tertiary institution in Kaduna.
