The Bayelsa State Government has ordered the immediate suspension of the implementation of the new school fees regime at the Niger Delta University (NDU), Amassoma, following mounting concerns over the reported increase in charges at the institution.
The directive was contained in a special government announcement signed by the Commissioner for Education, Chief Dr Gentle Emelah, on Thursday.
The government directed the university management to put the new fee regime on hold and urged both students and the authorities of the institution to maintain peace and ensure that academic activities continue without interruption.
“By this directive, Management and Students are advised to go about their usual academic activities, maintain order and shun acts capable of causing rancour and chaos in and around the campus environment,” the statement said.
