Amid rising petrol prices following the removal of fuel subsidy, Nigeria’s University of Lagos (UNILAG) has increased school fees.
UNILAG increased its tuition from N20,000 to over N100,000 depending on the course of study.
The new tuition ranges from N100,750 to N190,250 depending on whether the course of study requires laboratory, studio work or whether the student is in the College of Medicine.
The Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Folasade Ogunsola revealed this development during a recent meeting with the representatives of non-teaching staff at the Senate Committee Chamber of the school.
During the meeting, the Vice Chancellor revealed the proposed fees for undergraduate students of the school.
A statement issued by the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) said during the meeting which lasted approximately three hours, the “proposed fees for undergraduate students at Unilag were disclosed. Students without lab or studio use would pay N100,750, those with lab use would pay N140,250, and College of Medicine undergraduates would pay N190,250.
“The SSANU representative, Comrade Rasaki Yusuf requested a rebate for staff members with children in the university, but the vice chancellor explained that the charges were set nationally and could not be modified for specific student categories.
“However, she offered the option of paying in instalments for staff wards with a condition to pay up one month before the final exams.”
