The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, says 90 percent of indigent students of University of Maiduguri, UNIMAID, cannot afford to pay the new increased registration fees and charges by the institution.

NANS made this known in a reaction to the new measure announced by the university registrar, Ahmad Lawan, that students finding it difficult to pay the fees in full can pay in two instalments.

But the students in a statement on Thursday signed by the chairman of Borno branch of the association, Mohammed Babagana, urged the university to reasoned with them and the current economic conditions.

UNIMAID is located in Borno state which is still trying to recover from the effect of the Boko Haram insurgency that has disrupted activities in the last decade.

With such increase, a lot of students would have no option, but to drop out of the university

Most of these student's parents are civil servants with stipends coming in as salaries. How do you expect then to pay such exorbitant amount of money.

I wonder o

When I saw people blaming ASUU for the strike, I just shook my head, a lot of you do not know that the Police today Nigerians are complaining about are actually under the payroll of Nigerians, the extortion, harrasement and illegal arrests, bribery and so on all boils down to money collected from the citizens, you think it is their meagre salaries that sustains them.

When the government does not pay them well the citizens will, directly or indirectly

Imagine

Education now has no value in Nigeria.

Things have really changed. I recall when I gained admission into UNIMAID in 2005. My first fees as a fresher was N15,000. In subsequent years, I paid between 8,000 and 12,000 except for final year in 2008 when I paid N18,000 because of added field trip fee and an extra 5000 for late registration.

Where are we heading in this country? Tuition fees have risen over 1000%, yet, salary has not risen beyond 200%

Simple just vote TINUBU and allow the Lagos legacy have effect All over the nation.
Don't vote a flat head man whose state university went on strike. Don't say I didn't tell you oo
Vote WISELY,vote APC, vote TINUBU.

Don't vote for ANINI or OSUNBOR

Sai Baba

Uni Maid use to be one of the Cheapest Universities.

These students n their parents voted in d government of day, they shd please shut up n pay d money. Thief, borrow or loan, I really don't care.

Election is already here, most of their parents r selling their PVCs between ₦500-₦2000. Both d parents n students r already gearing up to vote idiots.

ASUU went on 8 months strike n dem never collect salary n una dey yab dem. The heat wey burn ASUU don burn una too.

Vote Peter Obi. Say no to Tinubu/APC

The same stupid students will still vote for apc...

Most of the youths supporting APC are from poor homes...

Anyway God bless the good people of Southsouth and Southwest...

God bless president OKORO OBI.

I'm an orphan and i sponsor myself. I normally pay 33k now they are asking me to pay 125k. Where do I get such amount? More worrisome that I got 2 more sessions to go.

Lol I just laughed when I saw this new school fee

Some students are struggling to pay the old fee, is it this new one they would be able to afford

At the end they might end up sending alot of students back home

This is CHANGE

given the hike in prices of consumer goods ...why still increase fees why na

Na the change una they see so.nko una vote for change? Make that grandpa win na blood una go cry.

I hear you!

They cannot afford N200,000 for university education but some of them can afford to pay more than that for private primary school education.

Most of them can also afford phones of N300k.

You want University education free and you still want high standard

Running university is not cheap. Somebody must pay for it, either students or the irresponsible Nigerian government at all levels.

My younger brother called yesterday to tell me a 300% increase of their school fees. This is just the beginning of the struggle as many of us have been accusing ASUU of going on strike. Our government have no plans for the youths

good old days my brother. Unimaid offered quality education, cheeper than what we experienced in the south and also far less competitive admission.

When ASUU was making the noise and going on strike they were tagged selfish and wicked, i am sure we can all see who the real enemies are now.

Then they should find a trade and not attend university. Nigeria requires more artisans than university graduates
