I came across the school fees for freshly admitted students in UNILORIN. Is this not getting out of hand? I can remember vividly, this sum isn't upto what students pay for their whole study in the university. In addition, Acceptance fees of 40k has to be paid

It was heavily subsidized inefficiency until now. In the next few years, public institutions will be true place of excellence.

Those spending millions on private universities education should now opt for public universities while gifted students from indigent backgrounds should have access to scholarships and students loans

I think you may be lying.

I paid 20,100 between 2006-2010
So, 2012? In the North, maybe.

I don't think he is, all my fees(tuition, Accomodation, faculty levy and other miscellaneous was #19800 as at 2010/2011 session. Things are pretty affordable in a federal university then.

The students' loan by Mr BAT should solve part of the problem. The students well know that they are most unlikely to pay back!!!

How some folks celebrate loans over subsidy is beyond insane!

Government withdraws one of the most vital basic benefit of being a Nigerian citizen and burdens students with loans and yet it’s considered an achievement.

Can anyone cite a study that informed the president’s opinion about high cost of tuition fees being the reason for reduced tertiary education? And has any recent study shown an increase in university attendance since the implementation of the student loan?

U forgot that ur naira has totally lost its value, 20k say 10 years ago is equivalent to 200k as at today. So think about it, do u not expect them to make appropriate adjustments to school fees too?

In that case minimum wage must also be further reviewed because the 70k isn't a liveable wage. We can't expect poor people's children to bring out money magically from their anus when the government is busy underpaying people.

2026, they're still talking about increased taxation.

yinkeys:
The money gotten won’t even be used appropriately
Nigeria has collapsed

Carry your own part of the collapsing Nigeria, make I carry my part!!!
It'll never work if we only despair and pass the bulk

He's not lying, I paid 11,250 as at 2010 in FUTA in my final year.

We are finished


Seun help me complete am

jamafa:
Students have access to loan now

For school fees and pocket money(20k) monthly

You are very funny. What kind of talk is this. You did not say access to grant but access to loan that they have to repay back. Why don't you look for a loan to take since loan is a good thing.
Even getting those loans are very difficult. After graduation you will start paying those loans because it's already in the bureau system. That will prevent them from future loan until it's paid.

Naira never had value in the past but a subsidized value. irrespective of whatever situation, anything above N200k is too much in government higher institutions.
Some of you never wanted Nigeria to grow beyond the easy mediocre level that the past leaders have been sustaining.

He's not lying; it depends on department.
I paid 14k after 100L at uniben.

Correct!

If everything around you has gone up (rent, food, transport, internet, dstv, phone etc), do you expect school fees to remain the same?

May God help today's parents.

2003/2004 I paid 6k as fresher in economics department and paid 1050 in my 200l then in 300l the fees for staylites was on reasws to 6300 and 18500 for Freshers which we rooted about but still paid. All in these happened in this same unilorin better by far. What a tragedy for federal university paying that much.

Lets be truthful to ourselves - the Nigerian state gave us free education!!!

Most of us paid next to nothing throughout the university years and still travelled abroad with the knowledge acquired from Nigeria to excel even further in our new places abroad. Schooling abroad is not cheap, even for the citizens.

bamvik:
My fear is, how many parents/guardian can afford it.

Z Gens say that school is a scam. They should forget about education and start creating content like Pellar up and down then.

NastiLord:
2000 to 2005 all my school fee for Unical back then no reach 70k.

unizik awka here I paid 20k that was 2002 - 2006

shame i remembered converting my bank teller to receipt how much, na we be government pikin. government school start to finish

They are still not comparable to private. Meanwhile the other side of student loan is increase in fees. If you know you know. That is the game plan.

And una dey say make the Students no do Yahoo. Una dey play

This is what ASUU and co have been fighting for.
Education has not seen enough leverage positively because of bad funding.

This is better than incessant strikes.
Reason we have NELFUND.
Don't rant.If you have 2 children,put them in the university using NELFUND.
President Tinubu is a genius.You get a job after, you pay in stipends,if you don't,you don't pay.
It is a win win for parents and students.

Even more. I bought my first tricycle in oct 2015 @ #430k. In March 2020 , I bought another one at #700k.

Now as I write, a tricycle is almost 5m.

Have you thought that income of many Nigerians have not risen at the rate of inflation and loss of value of the naira?

You now see how APC and now TINUBU
has incinerated the value of the naira and is HAPPY DOING IT!!.😰😡

Walai:
To imagine I paid 12k in a Federal University during GEJ regime.

And you stayed at home for how many years due to strike?

what is the value

MVLOX:
May God help the children of poor people. The worst part be say many of the children way dem dey waste this money for no know the value .... sure a shame

By the time Tinubu must have done with you maybe sanity will be restored to your brains,this is just the beginning, enjoy the show while it lasts.you will still pay for air for respiration under this govt.

Odenscollection:
unizik awka here I paid 20k that was 2002 - 2006

No doubts. Unical was always looking for ways to exploit us then.

Throughout my 6 yrs at unibadan, the highest I paid was #47,800 ,and this was in final year.May God come through for the parents.

When it was cheap are they not doing yahoo? When it was cheap don't we have drop out due to students that can't afford it? No no students can say they are drop out due to fund again because of nelfund
