I found this write up about ABU MBA online programme misleading. I am also a student of ABU studying my MBA through this online programme, Lagos center to be precise. I don't remember paying up to 800k as claimed. The total amount I paid for the programme is under 550k with my learning device inclusive. I'm a pioneer member of this first online MBA programme by any Nigeria higher institution. Being the first institution to have started an online MBA programme in Nigeria, I really did not expect 100% perfection but I can rate this programme so far well over 80%. The goodnews is that ABU keeps improving on this programme and we could see improvement in each semester. By the grace of God, I am writing my final project hoping to graduate this coming November.
The major reason why some of my colleagues have been complaining bitterly against this programme was when the school changed the examination method from 100% CBT to include theory which didn't go down well with some of my colleagues. Of course, the school clearly explained to every student that it was a directive from NUC not ABU. For this reason, some students pulled out from this programme thus they have been complaining.
Additional payment was meant for students with carry over in one course or the other and late registration I believe attracts some certain fine but this was not general but for the affected students only.

To the complainer, please let us not over exaggerate issues and put up a write up that will only build and not destroy great work. For your information, because ABU has successfully pioneered this programme, other schools in Nigeria are starting up their online MBA programmes shortly.
