I was in one of the known high institution in the Southwest Nigeria where I did my MSc programme, while I went to the bank to pay for fee for my certificate, I saw students paying their school fees and the bank was collecting ''BANK COMMISSION from them (I probably had paid before).
Now, I was trying to figure out why commission charges be burn by the students and not the school? The school authority is meant to collect the so called school fees from the students which ordinarily would be at ''NO'' cost on the students through the Bursary department of the school. But now, the school went into arrangement with the bank to ease them of that task and for safe keeping of their fund.
Logically, the school contracted the bank and not the students, so, the question now is why should the student pay the commission and not the school authority?
I think this act should be checked by the student union government of various high institutions.

What prompted this write up? while I was waiting to pay on the queue, I saw a lady who wanted to pay her school fee and was not aware of the so called commission charges was denied and turned down, she left the bank with her money. No matter how small the commission may be, to students any amount is a lot.
