Delta Polytechnic Students Protest COVID-19 Fee, Barricade School's Gate, Roads

Students of the Delta State Polytechnic, Ozoro, have protested the N5,000 COVID-19 fee imposed on them by management of the institution.
Management of the polytechnic had on Thursday through a circular imposed N5,000 on all students for upgrade of COVID-19 facilities, which students said could not be found in the institution.
The protest, which commenced at about 7:00am on Friday morning, led to heavy traffic on the Ughelli-Ozoro-Asaba Road.

 The protesting students while describing the N5,000 fee as extortion, called on the management of the polytechnic and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State to as a matter of urgency reverse the decision.


Tertiary institutions in the state had imposed N10,000 and N5,000 on students for what they called upgrade of COVID-19 facilities.
