Students at Maradi University in Niger staged a protest last night against gender-based dormitory separation.
The students demonstrated against the university’s plan to divide student housing by gender, with some protesters reportedly dismantling ongoing construction.
They expressed concerns that the policy could lead to discrimination and create unnecessary divisions among students.
The situation drew attention from the Emir of Maradi, who visited the university to understand the reasons behind the protest and engage with students and school authorities.
