The Workers and Youth Solidarity Network (WYSN) has rejected the sudden and significant hike in the tuition of the students of the University of Abuja. This was contained in a statement signed by Damilola Owot, the group secretary, asking the school to reverse the hike or “expect the mother of all protests”. It described the development as anti-poor and highly insensitive to the economic crisis facing Nigeria, noting that the school management should turn to the government for funding and not increase the burden on students.

Wole Soyinka: "The man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny." Desmond Tutu buttressed the above point when he said, "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."
