Students of Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, today (Thursday) took to the streets to protest against late registration charges of N10,000 imposed by the school management.
It will recalled that students who registered one week after the registration deadline were first charged N5,000 which the students accepted.
However, the students were provoked when the management announced a 100 per cent increased to the late registration fee from N5,000 to N10,000.
