UNIUYO is a State University and pays as low as #15,000 Acceptance fee with a more conducive learning environment..Futo is a Federal University that has access to funds from various interventionist organisations like TETFUND,PTDF, NNDC, ETF and UNESCO. When Peaceful Negotiations fails, Mass Protests becomes inevitable. It is our Right,,It is Legal,,, It is constitutional. Less I forget, Futo with increasing population of over 50,000people(students both Regular,Weekend, Postgraduate and teeming staff ) with host communities of Obinze, Umuchima,Ihiagwa and Eziobodo has only one commercial bank operating on campus. "Just- graduated" students are not left out as each person pays mandatory #5000(recently introduced ).,No self con.appartment is below #80,000.Prices of Goods and Services have sky rocked. Any average student barely feeds twice daily. How then can he/she listen/comprehend in class and pass exams, to become a world class Engineer or problem Solver in this computer age. They call on Parents, NANS, NAISS, MEDIA, DSS,POLICE, VARIOUS YOUTH ORGANISATIONS, ORGANIZED LABOUR and other good spirited individuals to help avert this looming Sufferings and help in building the Futo in line with the missions and visions of the Founding Fathers. Education is a Right Not a Privilege. TOGETHER WE CAN! FUTO MUST BE BETTER!!!
