The House of Representatives has asked its Committees on Education (Basic and Tertiary) to intervene in the compulsory N75, 000 laptop fee charged students of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
The house unanimously took the decision following a motion under matters of urgent public importance sponsored by Rep. Bashir Babale (APC-Kano).
Moving the motion, Babale decried the university’s policy on compulsory payment of N75, 000 as laptop fee for the newly admitted students.
The university administration recently introduced a policy, which requires every student to own a laptop.
“This policy is arbitrary, inhuman and so sad that they are making access to education difficult for the people.
“Nigerians are anxious to study in order to contribute to the growth of the nation but this policy makes it difficult,’’ Babale said.
The legislator, who pointed out that education remained a vehicle for national development, stressed the need to correct imbalance in education.
