Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Students of the University of Ibadan have condemned the planned 750 per cent fees increment for fresh students admitted into the university.<\/p>\n

A release by the President of the Student\u2019s Union of the University, Samuel Tobiloba, and the General Secretary, Olaniyi Dolapo, requested a meeting with the management to resolve the adjustments.<\/p>\n

The Union, through the statement, said it received the shocking news of the sudden opening of the portal and increment in fees for the new students.<\/p>\n

According to the union, the fees reflecting on the portal ranged from N133,500 to N372,500 aside from the utility and technology levies of N20,000 each student is expected to pay.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a bid to clarify these, we reached out to the university management and it was confirmed that the opening of the portal was a demo process in preparation for the commencement of payment and registration processes and there was a plan for the increment of fees ranging from N133,500 to N238,500 aside the utility and technology levies (N80,000 in total).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe note with concern that this increment represents about 450%-750% of the previous bundle fee which ranged from about N20,000 \u2013 N30,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is coming at a period when several students are finding it hard to cope with the current fees regime, and increased costs of living in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe union condemns this increment in strong terms, and requests that this proposed increment be reverted to the status quo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are equally requesting a meeting with the university management towards resolving this issue,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n

The body further requested students, particularly freshers, to exercise patience while the union works to resolve the increment with the management.<\/p>\n
