The Coalition for Students’ Advocacy and Transformation Fund (CSATF) has condemned the recent fee hike at the University of Ibadan and criticized the Nigerian government’s commercialization of public education. They assert that public education is a fundamental right under Section 18 of the 1999 Constitution, yet the government has failed to fulfill its obligations. The CSATF noted that Nigeria has never allocated the recommended 26% of its budget to education, with funding decreasing over the years.
