Trail Reporters
Information reaching Trail Reporters news desk reveals that the imbroglio between Prof. Nduwa E.S Lale led Management of University of Port Harcourt and students affected by the “No School fees, No Examination Policy” has heightened, as the School fees Portal of the University has been shutdown after the expiration of the short deadline given to students to pay up their fees, thereby preventing students who now have their school fees from accessing the School fees Portal to pay up their fees to enable them sit for their forthcoming examination coming up next month.
Investigation by our reporters revealed that the situation led to a peaceful protest by the affected students, which later turned violent when security men shot and killed one of the harmless protesting students. We gathered that the University Management has refused to shift its ground to extend the deadline for the payment of school fees.
We learnt that the Management of the University has directed all affected students to pick up a withdrawal form, fill and sign it for the deferment of their admission for one year which affects over 45% of the students’ population which cuts across different departments/faculties.
Speaking with our correspondents in Port Harcourt, some of the affected students confirmed the story and alleged that the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Nduwa E.S Lale has refused to act like a father to them and that most of them out of threat from the Management of the University to withdraw the provisional admission offered to the affected students if they failed to pick up the withdrawal forms on or before the end of August, 2017 and sign it to defer their admission for one additional year, all the affected students will forfeit their admission completely.
Documents made available to Trail Reporters revealed that the affected students have petitioned the Acting President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, the Hon. Minister of Education and other appropriate authorities through a letter dated 15th August 2017, appealing to them to intervene in the crisis currently rocking the University by directing the Management of the University of Port Harcourt to re-open the school fees portal to enable the affected students pay their school fees and be allowed to sit for their exams coming up next month, instead of withdrawing/deferring their study for extra one year.
An affected final year student of Psychology of the University who simply mentioned his name as Okechukwu was in tears while speaking to our correspondents about his dashed hope of graduating this year if he is compelled by the University Management to withdraw his study for an extra year and that his poor parents have struggled very hard to see him through to his final year.
As at the time of filing in this report, efforts to contact the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Nduma E.S Lale to comment on the issue did not yield positive results.
Comment: The school should open the portal for them to save the country of nuisances..
Comment:he Should leave the school because ever since he came it has been trouble in that Uniport. he is indeed a wicked man and not a father
A lot of students are affected and have been forced to withdraw from the university. Even lecture’s children due to late payment of salary by the management. Please we need federal govt intervention because state govt.has tried but to no avail….we’re crying for help…..
It is my earnest desire that the management reopens the portal for the defaulting students to pay up.
what is it with the VC that would have caused him to be this heartless towards students, what ever is the issue let him handle things as a normal human being is supposed to and stop this heartless stubbornness of his, what is he feeling like seriously, is he God? What is this country becoming? And where are we going to?
This idea has ruin the career and have downed the moral of so many students.
Is in deed painful to see your self withdrawing from school do to not paying school school fees on time after so many years.
This is sardonic
This is blunder
This is barbaric
This is frustration.
Please I appeal with the governing body of the university of portharcourt and the vice chancellor Dr nduwa lale to please reconsider and have a change of taught in other to maintain the integration and the apocalyptic ostinato of the federal university of portharcourt for cause its a school know fr its discipline and tender mercy.

This is lugubrious
This is Spalling of the intermediary mind of the multitude considered as bonified student of the university of portharcourt.
This is witchcraft
This is evil.
It has been reported in various medias ever since this noddy of a vice chancellor(native doctor nduwa lale) emerged as the vc of the university of portharcourt it has been one catastrophy or the other.
For me I think this is an Apocalypse.
Is it that he has no family or no emotion ?
How can you tell students to withdraw from academic pursuit do to inaccurate time payment of fees?
Even our current federal minister of education knows its not easy especially in a university like that of Uniport that you find 60℅ of the students being a middle classed and 35℅ a low classed(those who work to pay their bills)to meet up duration of payment withing a twinkle of an eye.
Its not possible.
Since the history of Uniport I have not heard of such devilish government before.
A government of bloodsucking leaders and a government of ritualistic occupants of the governing seat.
Please federal government should rise up to render help because I know they are aware of this apocalypse and if they keep silent do to the fact their children are abroad do to level or class in the society then the same punishment of kama will be on you all.
