Residents from the Ihie Ndume community stormed the Abia State House of Assembly to protest the expensive school fees at Government College Umuahia. Community members argued that the school has transformed from a public institution to an unaffordable private establishment. Nathaniel Nwoko led the group, claiming that current administrators block intelligent students from poor families from accessing quality education.

Protesters demanded significant fee reductions to help low-income children enroll. They called on Governor Alex Otti to intervene and ensure the school remains accessible to students regardless of family background. Assembly officials responded cautiously to the community's concerns.

Education Committee Chairman Okoro Uchenna Kalu assured protesters that the matter was under careful review. Deputy Speaker Augustine Okezie cautioned against aggressive action and promised legislative intervention. The community hopes their protest will prompt meaningful changes to school fee structures and management.
