Education is the key to what everyone seeks in life, as far as advancement and nation’s building are concerned. The government of Kaduna state made some points on why they increased the tuition fees of the Kaduna state university. It sounds so logical, but our point is that such an increase should not be carried out at this critical period when parents are struggling to feed their children. The increment is not appropriate for now because such an increase would send so many students out of the university. Although there are so many ways an individual can obtain a grant or loan to finance his or her education, how possible can that be in Nigeria? Practically, there is little or no chance for a poor man who has been struggling to pay the school fees of his children to obtain such a loan. As it is in Nigeria today, based on what we know, the country is not a place where such loan facilities are easily available. Viewers Corner News team is appealing to the Kaduna state government to review its stand on this issue of increasing the tuition fee of the Kaduna state university so that the children of the poor would not be sent out of the institution for not paying their school fees. Even the low amount of tuition fee being paid by the students of Kaduna state university is still a problem. Meaning that if you raise the tuition fee, it would be very difficult for students to pay. When students drop out of school, so many negative things may start running through their minds. This may lead them to crimes.
