A cross-section of parents whose children and wards are seeking admission into the Ekiti State University, (EKSU), Ado Ekiti have sent passionate appeal to the institution’s authorities to thread softly on the issue of pre-admission screenings and payments.
Some of the concerned parents, who spoke to reporters on Thursday in Ado Ekiti lamented the repeated screening exercises introduced by the authorities in relation to the 2016/2017 admission exercise.

Those who spoke to newsmen accused the university of conducting separate screening exercises for the prospective students, with each of the screening attracting as much as N5,600, despite the ban placed on such screening by the Federal government.

According to Mrs Afeniforo Emmanuel, the University, three weeks ago screened candidates who possessed the prescribed minimum UTME scores as well as met the required minimum of five credit pass, including English Language and Mathematics.
According to her, “a sum of N5,600 was paid to the prescribed banks for the exercise; I thought that the next was for her ward to be offered or denied admission.”

She said she was shocked to discover that having sailed through the initial screening, her child was again last week invited to another round of screening exercise and asked to pay another N5,600.

Another parent, Mr Kunle Adeyemi said it took the intervention of the institution’s students’ union body to get the authorities of the university to reduce the second screening fee to N3,100, inclusive of bank charges.

A disabled parent, Mrs kafayat Folaranmi called on JAMB to intervene in their plight since the warning against extortion in the name of post-UTME screening came since July.

‎Meanwhile, going through the list, a newly admitted student is required to pay a minimum of N80,000, in addition to minimum of N50,000 acceptance fee, as against total payment of N50,000 recommended by the state government.

All efforts to get the institution’s PRO, Olubumi Ajibade for a reaction to the allegations were abortive as calls put across to him were not responded to.

Corruption and extortion everywhere

according to them them, na buary cause ham

Things fall apart, the center cannot hold.

GET RID OF STRETCH MARKS, CHECK MY SIGNATURE!

Nah only God fit help person for this country. No be say the job dey sef after schooling.

I don't expect anything less from a poor state Univesity like EKSU.

This is very serious

nah you know

Nawa oh

Emmmm in "FAYOSE voice"the first screening fee paid by parents is for "STOMACH INFRACSTURE LEVY"cos there would be ENOUGH Owambe at the school,this was done in order to see how serious they are in getting their wards admitted to the school while the second payment is for the NORMAL AS USUAL screening fee.

when the salary is not even coming..

Every sector is corrupt back to back. 50k owo acceptance fee Aiye ooooo. More than some sch tuition fee

lol. is about time. i thought prospective student parents will not cry out. Eksu nor dey carry last. Well nice outcry. To gain admission gan nor easy,to go through school self nor easy.

Buhari cause am

Buhari cause wetin?just read what you wrote? Even when you have tooth ache you blame it on buhari..smh

wow thats ma skul buh nt proud to say it tho

These people protesting apparently don't know what is actually going on in the school, the state government since last year had stopped paying subvention to the university. The vice chancellor in his own wisdom has been paying salaries with the university IGR and that is why the university has been strike-free while mist state unis are on strike. Although, I frown at the issue of double payments for admission screening but the issue of acceptance fee being 50000 is reasonable because of the state of things.

If you don't have enough don't even think of going to EKSU because they are going to "suck" you dry. To collect certificate alone after graduation is like #30,000.

So my wastern brothers like extortion..

This is corruption fighting back..

The first fee is screening Application fee - N5600
The second is screening date fee - N3100
The third may be admission checking fee _ ??

Jamb will be pretending as if they did not see the extortion.

Whosoever the mod is, I think the whole world should see this.

Your assessment and stand on the situation is Unfortunate. So the time of recession is the perfect time to double levies? Sad!

Imagine what that guy is saying? The state that is owning civil servants 6 months salary. Most of the workers in the state cannot afford to pay these school fees imposed on the students.

To collect certificate in EKSU, you will have to cough out 30k after bogus school fees.
