Meanwhile, Rivers State University, RSU, earlier this week began the implementation and enforcement of its ‘No school fees, No exams’ policy.

Nigerian info reported that some final-year students who are yet to pay their school fees were seen standing outside their exam hall.

Recall that the state-owned university on October 14, announced a ‘No school fees, No exams’ policy and shifted the exams from last week Monday to this week to enable students to pay. This followed data that showed that about eight thousand students are yet to pay school fees or register for their courses.
