We are going to<br \/>\nlook into it very seriously and closely and expeditiously and we want to find a solution to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an opportunity for me to appeal to our state governments across the country to continue to support education of our citizens seriously by providing them necessary scholarship and giving them in time when they will be very helpful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere at the Federal level, the senate will work hard to ensure that we do something that will change the narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, the leader of the group, Charanchi said their mission was to register their concerns over reports of an impending plan by both the Federal and state governments to commercialise education.<\/p>\n<p>He alleged that some institutions particularly in the northern part of the country,\u00a0 were reported to have doubled their registration fees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is in line with the above that we at the CNG\u2019s students\u2019s\u00a0 wing request the quick intervention of your esteemed office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe appeal to you on behalf of the millions of Nigerian students and their families to see to the reversal of the hike which will enable students from poor and marginalised families have access to tertiary education,\u201dhe said.(NAN)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of Senate, Sen.
