Students of the Adamawa College of Education in Hong, have been levied N4,500 each to rehabilitate school structures that they destroyed following a demonstration late last year.
The students had embarked on what became a destructive demonstration in November last year to protest an increase in school fees, among other complaints.
The college was shut down immediately in what the management described as unrest, but the management has now announced a phased reopening of the college and the N4, 500 rehabilitation levies.
A notice from the Office of the Registrar of the college, seen by our correspondent yesterday, showed that NCE III students are to resume today and to continue on March 1 the examination that they were at when the unrest occurred.
Signed by the Registrar, Alhaji Shuaibu Ahiwa, the notice directed NCE II students to resume on March 7 and to continue their examination on March 9, and NCE I and Pre-NCE students to resume on March 14 and continue their examination on March 16.
“All students are to pay N4, 500 for damages caused during the demonstration,” the notice from the Registrar said.
The Registrar warned that no student would be allowed to sit the re-scheduled examinations without evidence of having paid the N4, 500.
“All students must fill an undertaking form at the Students Affairs Unit promising to abide by the college rules and regulations,” the registrar directed.
