Okporo appealed to the school management to extend the school fees payment and as well allow students who are yet to pay their tuition fees, to write their examination.

Source told 247ureport that there were some courses which have not been introduced by the lecturers but was scheduled on the examination timetable.
This according to the student was because of the ASUU strike which lecturers embarked on last month.

According to source “the lecturers are divided, there are some who observed the strike while some are still working”.
