STUDENTS of the Federal University of Technology Owerri, FUTO has decried the ambiguous increment of their school fees to over 75%.

Implementation of the school fees started Thursday morning with New students asked to balance up while old students were greeted with recent change in their portal.

With the high cost of living and dwindling economic crisis that has beached Nigeria, students are already crying the tears of Dropping out.

Older students that pays N40,000 are now to pay N69,600 while freshmen that pays N48,000 are now to pay N115,000 and above a situation that has shattered
the hearts of Freshmen who are already willing to begin their academic journey come next week.

The Management has said it deem it necessary for the increase as cost of running the university has over time increased and no Federal Government assistance or financial aid.

Meanwhile the Students Union Government of the varsity has scheduled a Stakeholders Meeting to deliberate on the increment by Sunday.
