ANSU will be able to charge tuition fees of up to N251,300 per year from 2015/2016 academic session, as the state government transfers much of the cost of running the university to students.

The increase tuition fees at ANSU is making me think hard about whether the university was the right route for average Anambrarian or to kill off students. I am an alumnus of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University formerly Anambra State University. I knew what I paid through to graduate.

I know of two things that can cause tuition fees of college or university to increase.

1. The university spends more - paying faculty more, or building more infrastructures, or conducting more research -- whatever the reason, spending rises and all will boil down on the students and their families.

2 If the state government in this case cut subsidies university (rather than, say, cut spending or solicit alumni donations) to make up the difference.

My fear then is that the outcome of such high fees will be to damage participation and social mobility among students.

Medical Students will pay N251,300 as against 156K they paid last session, Law N186,950 previous N136K, Professional/science based courses N136,950, Non-professional Courses, N126,950.

Now, why would a government who clamour and profess love for education make it almost impossible for his subjects to acquire the basic education even when it is one of the fundamental human rights?

Getting educated is a very expensive thing my dear... Anambra don't shy away from that....

This is serious and too much for a state university. ...what do you now expect from a missionary school 400_800k

OP! That's the kind of country we found ourselves into. I think Buhari and his Minister of Education should look into this because this is outrageous.You can imagine ESUT! #500, 000 for development fee, this is apart from your school fees and accomodation fee! It doesn't make sense, because this is cheating and stealing in a broad daylight! Even if you are schooling outside this country, no institution will ask you for a dime in the name of Development fee! Pls the various government authorities should better do something about this before it become something else.
