UPDATE ON EKSU FEES REGIME FOR FRESHERS

The Management of Ekiti State University, Ado - Ekiti, after due consultation and negotiation with its Students' Union met to review the situation surrounding the fee regime payable by freshers for the 2024/2025 academic session.

At its meeting held on Monday, 25th November, 2024, Management also considered the concerns of parents and stakeholders, including the students on the matter.

Additionally, Management took cognizance of the economic realities in the country with a view to further reducing the burden of parents in the payment of the fees.

Accordingly, the EKSU Management decided to allow fresh students to pay a minimum of 70% of the approved fees for the first semester, while the balance of 30% is paid during the second semester of the 2024/2025 academic session. However, parents who can afford and wish to pay the fees in full at once are encouraged to do so without any delay.

It should be noted that the university Management remains committed to students' welfare, hence, consultations will continue in this regard with particular attention to how EKSU students can benefit from the Federal Government's NELFUND scheme.

The University is also consulting with relevant stakeholders in the EKSU project on the possibility of rolling out programmes capable of alleviating the likely attendant financial burden of the new fee regime on prospective indigent students.

Management will continue to ensure the promotion of robust relationships with all and sundry in an effort to make teaching and learning environment conducive for its students.

Actually, it is cheap to study in NIgeria.

Want to read medicine in the UK? 19 million naira yearly

How about the USA? 100 million naira yearly.

That means their students take loans. (One American student owed 150000 dollars in student loans when she finished her medical studies. And it has to be paid back.A non-medical student doing his masters had to live in a van for the duration of his studies to do them without taking loans).

Nigeria is still cheap, especially since that 800000 naira is just less than 500 dollars. Per annum.

The reason why we have bad universites is because fees are dirt cheap here. SO, unis don't have cash to pay for many things.

I see your post on here where your solution to everything is for everything to be made expensive and unaffordable. And I just ignore. Not only because it's mischievous, but akso stupid when one sees only one way as a solution to a problem.

Now, to this your very comment,

The only reason students are paying 19 million to study in the UK is the very high exchange rates. (One of the many failures of the government all in the name of reforms)

No2. Fees in Nigeria has always been affordable. That's why our grandparents were able to attend universities and the universities were able to pay for their stuffs.

The reason behind universities not being able to afford things include the fact that the cost of everything is rising astronomically. And the government is to blame for that.

Secondly, education is a basic amenity. (One of the very few we amenities the government provides) It's not luxury. It should be cheap.

Stop this blaming the victim thing you're doing.

This current generation is a victim of bad governance which has turned what used to be basic to luxury. Don't be stupid.

PS: medicine is to pay N1,132,000
