Nigeria Institution Students to Pay Fine For Staging Powerful Protest
Adamawa State Polytechnic, Yola, is set to resume on May 19, 2025, following a three-week shutdown caused by student protests over poor electricity and water supply.
According to the school management, power has now been restored through the national grid, and solar-powered boreholes have been installed to ensure regular water access.
Each student is required to pay a ₦3,000 penalty to cover damages from the protest, and proof of payment must be submitted during registration.
The Deputy Registrar, Mr. Albert Matila, described the protest as unfortunate, saying the school was already working on solutions before the unrest.
He urged students to focus on their academics, avoid social misconduct, and follow the proper channels for complaints, noting that the protest disrupted the academic calendar and had negative consequences for all students.
