Aside from ABU ZARIA, no northern University increased their school fees but almost all the southern universities (southeast/southwest/southsouth) increased. Very soon the only option for the average Nigerian will be to go school in the north. No wonder the rate of runs boys and runs girls in the southern universities are so high as parents are not able to foot the bills alone. Imagine parents with three or four kids in these universities. It's time government regulates the activities of these schools

How true is this?
