‘Every Student Must Pay N1,000’ — ATAP Lists Conditions As It Reopens Campus After Violent Protest

The management of Abubakar Tatari Ali Polytechnic (ATAP), Bauchi State, has issued a circular mandating all students to pay a compulsory level of N1,000, following a violent protest that trailed an industrial action by the Joint Action Committee (JAC) in the school.

The fee, WikkiTimes learnt, would be collected from the students as the school resumes on August 8, 2022.

Five tertiary institutions in Bauchi operating under the aegis of JAC embarked on a two-week warning strike to drive home their demand. This came at the time students of ATAP were writing their examinations. However, students responded to the strike by staging a protest which would later snowball into public disturbances.

Tellingly, the students vandalised valuables inside the school. The strike was called off last Monday and the striking union ordered its members to resume work immediately.
