CDHR CONDEMNS HIKE IN TUITION FEE OF THE NIGERIAN LAW SCHOOL AMID ECONOMIC HARSHIP, DEMANDS IMMEDIATE REVERSAL.

 

 

 

 

CDHR strongly criticizes the increase in tuition fees at the Nigerian Law School despite the ongoing economic difficulties faced by the nation. The recent announcement by the institution’s director-general, Isah Chiroma, revealed that the fee for the upcoming 2023/2024 academic session has risen from N296,000 to N496,000. This decision is deemed oppressive and unnecessary, as it exacerbates the hardships experienced by Nigerians and restricts access to legal education for the less privileged.

 

 

 

 

Currently, Nigerians are already grappling with the repercussions of the removal of subsidies on petroleum products by the Federal Government, which has failed to provide adequate solutions to alleviate the impact.

In response, CDHR demands an immediate reversal of the fee hike and proposes a downward review of the tuition fees. Should the law school refuse to revert to the previous fee structure, CDHR vows to mobilize mass action to challenge the decision. The organization remains steadfast in its commitment to advocate for and safeguard the rights of the Nigerian people.
