The University of Ibadan college of medicine, has today increased the school fees of medical students from 29,000 to 145,000 Naira and accommodation from 14,000 to 45,000 within the space of 24 hours!
This news is coming as shocker to the medical students who are now in unrest and unsure of what to do at the moment.
They have started an online campaign on twitter using the #noto185k and have sent emails to various online newspapers containing the following message

Good day sir/ma ,

We are students the college of medicine, university of Ibadan.
We wish to bring to your notice a recent development in the college, which is an increment of our fees. The school fees, accommodation fees and clinical levies which were previously #29,000, #14,000 and #12,000 respectively are now being increased to #40,000, #45,000 and #100,000 respectively.

We students believe this is irrational as most of us who could barely pay the previous total of #55,000 are now faced with a big problem of paying a total of #185,000. We are not capable of paying this outrageous sum and we would like to employ your help in making it known all over as peacefully as possible.

We are not threatening to vandalise properties or take any destructive steps but we aim to use the media as a tool to make known what is about to happen. It is on this note that we humbly implore you to help us in the fight against this increment the best way you can.

Yours faithfully.

The world really needs to know what is happening and fight this , as if this is allowed to go through will serve as a template for other federal universities to follow suit.
In my opinion this is totally uncalled for as poor/indigent students make up the bulk of the population in the federal universities and if increments like this are allowed to proceed without a balance, then we can as well conclude that the end is near for these guys.
And it might just be time for them to pack their bags and head home.

Shithole

I forsee another protracted strike.

This may even involve the resident doctors.

Yet our leaders won't patronise local Hospital
