Reacting to this, students from various departments in campus, gathered in the SUG WhatsApp platform, have threatened march down to the union’s chamber to protest.

They demanded reasons for the sudden increment, stressing how life is hard for them, as students, to live.

Many of the students have also expressed how they have exhausted their parents with bills, lamenting that there are no sources of income for them.

Press Club MAPOLY, PCM, therefore reached out to the union’s president to react to the students response.

“There are alot of things student are not enjoying in MAPOLY, which if change is to occur it start with from somewhere and some people and some people will be the one to pay for the price for the change to occur, which we are the ones to pay the price.

“They are so many things we want to do for the benefits of student and they are so many things that are going wrong that we want to correct.”

He stressed that although the pain is much, it is necessary to take, adding that “critically looking at the expenses of the economy, the former price won’t be able to achieve the things for the student.”

  1. This one they call chemical is not even having empathy
    And he was begging us to vote for him oo
    Now he wants to do us strong thing
    You people should pity us now

  2. It’s not a thing if surprise if the increase is high. The student populace needs a president that would alleviate the burden of the student not adding salt to their wound again. Calculating the #375 on thousands of students in campus is a big amount. I believe the last administration should leave some funds in the account for this present administration.

    The students voice deserves to be heard and an injury to one is an injury to all

  3. Bro

    These is not good bro
    Try to think about those who doesn’t have sponsor

  4. However, the higher dosages aren t employed that often priligy 30 mg Collectively, our results clearly show that TFF1 does not exhibit oncogenic properties, but rather reduces tumor development
