I have a friend that stayed in OAU btw 07 to '12, all fee plus hostel no reach 50k.
Around 05 to 07, I do eat comfortably with #10 inside OAU
So that #90 might be true

Rest. It's across board. Hostel fee for medical students at Unilorin was 40k two years ago, 55k last year, and now they hiked it to 108k, until the SU waded in to bring it to 100k.

It's the new reality, deal with it. Seize your fuss.

Shalom.
and it's okay, they should not complain.

Bayelsa Medical University's hostel costs 100,000 naira per student, with 7 occupants per room. Each pair of rooms shares a single toilet and bathroom, resulting in 14 students using a single restroom facility grin

Basic problem is, that fee increase might not be much.

Below is a hostel room from a middling USA University

Ask how much they pay, and then compare to uniport, and you will see why despite the increase in fees, nothing will change.

Nigerians better face up to hard truths, and stop shouting poverty all the time.

For a Nigerian, everything is an opportunity to earn money.

If given the same opportunities as our current leaders, we will loot the treasury to the point that Nigeria will become worthless, and this makes us worse than the politicians and leaders we are criticizing.

He is right. I paid N100 for a year for a bed space I bought from a Secretary of my school’s VC.

Those staff bought the bed spaces and hoarded them.

It shouldn’t have been more than N40 per year.
Re: The Outrageous Increment In Hostel Accommodation In University Of Port Harcourt by StagethemTVee: 11:32am On Dec 10, 2024
But this is considerable cheap if it’s for a session


DGascon:
University of Port Harcourt increases hostel fee by 150% for all Hostels.

For the three categories of PG Hostels, the hostel prices were 40k, 50k and 70k for the just concluded session. The new academic session has all categories of the Hostels paying a flat rate of 100k.

If this is not witchcraft I wonder what is. All efforts to negotiate with management is proving futile as they have refused to give a listening ear. Some students are even tagging it as the last dance of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Georgewill Owunari, who has about a year left in office.

Who will come to the aid of students who are struggling in harsh economic weather?
Re: The Outrageous Increment In Hostel Accommodation In University Of Port Harcourt by VanuatuWycombe: 11:34am On Dec 10, 2024
They must run the school. CVN don hold their allocation nah.
Re: The Outrageous Increment In Hostel Accommodation In University Of Port Harcourt by Okiton: 11:57am On Dec 10, 2024
grin

Professor Georgewill just da do anyhow even after this increment students don't still have hostels. Majority of students pay accomodations out the school as the hostel accommodation not enough to accommodate even 20 percent of the students.

Admission racketeering there is high
They hijack admission and sell it to the highest bidders

Apart from that, the hostels are very dirty like pig pens, stealing at nonstop.

Prof. Georgewill is the worst vice chancellor of University of Port Harcourt. EFCC should invite him for questionting

What is the GDP per capita of America compared to Nigeria? Do they have free basic education for every child in America, like we have here?
What of free basic healthcare? Water nko? And electricity, which Fashola promised and failed to deliver after he was made super minister for power in APC shege administration that was fraudulently sold as change nine years ago huh

What do you gain from your self deception and empty bragging?

Fashola to Nigerians: 'If You Want to Have Stable Electricity Supply, Vote PDP Out in 2015'
Jul 11, 2014.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, while marking his 2,600 days in office at an elaborate ceremony held at the Blue Roof of the Lagos Television premises, has said voting out the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from power in next year’s general election is the only way the country can have stable electricity.

According to The Nation, Fashola said electricity crisis in the country is caused by lack of ideas and insincerity of purpose on the part of Federal Government.

"Yes I agree with you that it is possible to generate electricity and to make sure that everybody in this country has electricity, we have to do the right thing. But you know what, the only way that you and I will have electricity in this country will be to vote out the PDP.

hmmm I still find it hard to believe you thoughNa all of una be last set of people wey enjoy this country last. I envy you o.

TimiofAbuja, I now believe you o. Although all those things are practically unsustainable in the long term for any country though.
I will look for my receipt one day and try to see how I can scan and upload it whenever threads like this come up.

We were paying N20 per term as school fees in secondary schools and when government attempted to increase it to N40, we went on r.iot the N20 was maintained for that year before it was eventually increased to N40.

These were schools well equipped with amenities o - lab, tech equipment, art studio, kitchenette and dining, sports and recreation, better library. …too numerous to mention.


Those things are sustainable. It is corr uption that led us to where we are in the country.

Nigeria used to be a super-prosperous county - with very very low crime rate and insecurity.

Shalom.Lol, see where y'all brought this—I'm supporting government. Lol, no. I'm being logical. Most of us Nigerians don't like the reality or logical situations. Do you think a fee of 100k can even run a
school hostel successfully? Do you think hostel fee of ₦90, 55k, or so are sustainable? The fact they did it before and gave us almost everything for free doesn't mean that's the right way. I have a Ghanian friend in university of Ghana. In 2018, he asked me how much school fee we pay in 100L, I told him it was 27k (the fee at the time), he exclaimed, 'cos they were paying >₦400000(school fee at the time).

You want the best schools and equipment and you want all that for almost nothing. It's illogical. Education is not cheap! Check how much private universities in Nigeria charge for these things, while they still lack the degree of expertise irrespective. I don't want to talk about overseas universities' fees. In fact, it will interest you to know that most people who leave Nigeria for UK, do so to go study for MSc, yet they always have to sell off properties or set aside a humongous sum of money simply for that.

The excessive dependence on freebies is a poor social habit that a country should never be accustomed to. Unfortunately, Nigeria is found wanting and now it's unsustainable as the treasury bills have nearly been eroded from the subsidies the country has been responsible for over the years.
There can be no free education in a country of 250 million people. That happens in countries with less than 5 million population. Nigerians are bleeped. They just dont know it yet.

Freebies in Nigeria? You need to have your brain examined. Even in USA, they still temporary accommodations and free food for the homeless and unemployed, though it might be enough. Do we have such freebies in Nigeria? We provide our own water, security, electricity, etc
