THE BENUE STATE UNIVERSITY MAKURDI
I wish to conveniently inform the general public
concerning recent developments with particular
reference to the increments of certain amounts.....
First of all, its important for us to know that the
growing economic challenge is indeed as real as a brick wall, it is obvious that there is a troubling
Ecomic crunch as is evident globally, nationally and
also at the state & local levels, we cannot deny this
fact.
In every sector, at every level, costs and prices have
skyrocketed more than ever before...these 'shoot ups' cannot necessarily be blamed on the federal
government or the state governments of the
present administration alone as these are collective
challenges and should be viewed and tackled as
such.
When you proceed down to the University levels, we cannot simply blame the tertiary institutions for
certain increments after we have already known
that these increments are simply as a result of the
growing economic challenges.
Before now, the Benue State University has
remained the most affordable institution if not in the entire North Central, but in fact the whole
country, this as a result of the growing need to help
our teeming youths who may find it difficult making
payments & also to help get young ones off the
streets into school. But a time comes when things
must change a bit, if the economy has all of a sudden turned crunchy, it is only natural that
certain changes as a matter of necessity have to
change.
It is as a result of the these reasons and many other
factors that have necessitated the recent review in
charges in the University. THE REVIEW OF CONDITIONAL CHARGES IN THE
UNIVERSITY
The management has therefore proposed a review
of conditional charges in the University. The need
for the review has become necessary in order to
shore up the internally generated revenue(IGR) so as to meet up with the ever increasing cost of
running the university on daily basis. In coming up
with the proposed review, Management contacted
more than Five(5) other state universities who
charge same rates.
THE PROPOSED RATES ARE AS FOLLOWS: Post-UTME: initially #2500 now #3000
Acceptance Fee: initially #5000 now #25,000 for
undergraduates, while #30,000 for post graduates
Development Levy: initially #10,000, now #25000
for other courses, while #50,000 for College of
Health Sciences,Law,& Management Sciences Accreditation: not existing before, but the cost is #
15,000 for other courses, but #30,000 for College
of Health Sci, Law & Management Sciences
Utility Services: not existing before, but the cost is #
10,000
Laboratory/practical/Sanitary/consumables: not in existence before, but costs #20,000
Please Note that the above costs are referred to as
'CONDITIONAL' Charges, payable only ONCE!
Applicable to only New intakes, Not applicable to
returning students.
OTHERS INCLUDE: Certificates: initially #4000 for Sub-degree &
degree, now #10,000......while for postgraduates #
15,000

I wish to also let the public know that the amounts
stated in the first half of this write up are all
PAYABLE ONLY ONCE! which means only the fresh intakes are affected, as such it is to be seen as
such...
If there are any questions, please feel free to ask
instead of going around listening to rumours and
generating them to add to already heated
economies. Thank you for your continuous support, patience
and understanding.
