3 Nigerian Students In UK Face Deportation For Paying Their School Fees Late by thisweekng: 10:20am On Aug 10, 2023
Three Nigerian students were removed from the enrollment list at Swansea University, UK, for paying fees late.

The students, Omolade Olaitan, Emmanuel Okohoboh, and Paulette Ojogun, paid their school fees a few hours later than expected

According to Legit.ng, they have explained to the school that their school fees came late as a result of the cash crunch that hit Nigeria earlier in 2023.

Swansea University, UK, has, however, turned deaf ears and held on to the N3.8 million (4000 pounds) school fees while asking the students to pack their bags and go home.

The deadline for the payment of fees was March 27, 2023. Omolade Olaitan, one of the students, paid her fees on March 29.

She said: “On the 29th (March) I got an email from income tuition. They confirmed my payment and they told me that because the payment didn’t come in before the deadline, they can no longer allow me to enrol and that I should pack my bags and go back to my home country.”

Another student, Emmanuel Okohoboh, who got admission to start a masters degree in Business Management, is also facing deportation.

Emmanuel said two parcels of land were sold to raise his fees. His words:

“They are not fair, they are not compassionate, they are showing no signs of empathy. I had to sell my dad’s land and a piece of my own personal land to get the resources to come to Swansea University to study. Coming here and going through this situation has been mentally draining and frustrating for me.”

Paulette Ojogun, another student enrolled for a marketing management degree, also paid her fees after the deadline.
She cried profusely in a video seen on the website of ITV. Paulette lamented:

“I am happy that I am here, I am happy that I am studying, so why would you take that away from me because my school fees came in late? I’ve explained everything to them, I sent emails, and they still would not give me a listening ear.”

A lawyer may however appeal on behalf of the Students.

This is sad 😔



Unfortunately, UK 🇬🇧 is not Nigeria 🇳🇬 where one can easily bypass the system by bending the laws to fit them in...





Our high commissioner should intervene. Oops! I forgot, I heard the man is as incompetent as the leader in Nigeria 🇳🇬 which sent him.


I feel for the students.

Avoid the UK if you can
It is overrated
It’s better to go for a job offer directly than school, you’ll spend an amount that can make you very very very comfortable in nigeria and not be sure of a good job after graduation.
They’re using Nigerian graduates to clean backsides after selling everything to travel
