The research highlights the economic implications of these price increases, particularly concerning transportation costs, accommodation, and food prices. Through a structured questionnaire distributed to a sample of 399 students from various institutions, the study employs quantitative methods to analyze data on students'''' experiences and coping strategies in response to rising living costs. Findings reveal that increased fuel prices significantly affect students’ attendance and participation in academic activities, leading to financial strain and reduced academic engagement. The study identifies several coping mechanisms employed by students, including budgeting, part-time work, and reliance on family support, while also highlighting the inadequacy of these strategies in fully alleviating financial burdens. The research underscores the need for policy considerations and governmental palliative measures to support students facing economic challenges due to fluctuating fuel prices. By illuminating the intricate relationship between fuel price hikes and student welfare, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on the socioeconomic factors influencing education in Nigeria, offering insights for stakeholders and policymakers aimed at improving student conditions in higher education. Keywords: Fuel price hikes, students, higher education, Nigeria, financial stability, academic performance, living costs. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Mass Communication project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of social media on students academic performance (a study of students of university of Abuja) »Impact of social media on modern journalism (a study of journalists in Makurdi metropolis) »Impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on radio news reporting (a study of Atlantic FM Uyo) »Perception of cyber crime among Nigerian youths (a study of Caritas university) »The effect of government ownership and control of mass media objectivity reporting (a case study of Enugu state broadcasting services) »Coverage of foreign news by Nigerian newspapers: A content analysis of vanguard and daily sun newspapers»The Effects of Television Commercials on Buying Habits of Enugu Metropolis ( A Case Study of Omo and Elephant Detergents )»Impact of mobile phone on agricultural information among Otukpo farmers»Audience perception of Nigerian newspapers on the internet»Influence of news censorship on the performance of media houses in Nigeria (a study of Nasarawa broadcasting service, Lafia) »Importance of indigenous language in broadcasting media»Influence of television advertising on consumer buying habits of Guinness stout in Ikeja community of Lagos state»Role of communication technology in improving work efficiency of AIT staff (a study of AIT Abuja) »Effect of public relations on the consumer (a case study of premier breweries plc) »The effect of AKBC tv peak milk advertisement on the consumers buying habit
