I vividly remember we were the last set that Paid #7,000 school fee before it was increased to #14,000 in UAM. Nigeria we hail thee!

motionarena:
Lol u neva see anything, if u see private school fees u go scream

I came across a certain private university fee it is 1.7m per session though that doesn't mean government universities should be in competition with private universities terms of school fees.

rtdCivilservant:
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?

Who made the naira lose its value?
Who is managing the sectors determining the naira?

One man increased school fees by more than X10.

I understand that some were paying N8k at a time, then it was re-adjusted to N14k. Then from N14k to about N200k. How do you explain this?

Public Universities should be subsidize and well-equipped but no, the case is different here.

Some of the structures in the institutions were built by private individuals, organizations, alumnus, etc

Rather than equipping the educational sector, they are screaming "student loans" like it's some sort of timely and innovative policy

We never have the real value of naira before because it was heavily subsidies by fg against other foreign currencies it was naira floating of this government that gives us the real value of naira.

Nigerians wanted change, and that is exactly what they got.

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

The highest fee i paid in medical school was in my final year in 2009 and that was 28,500. First year fee in 2002 was 1,900.

T limbu has completely ruined the country!

Neddstark:
No 20k of 10 years ago is not 200k of now. That's your exaggeration.

In 2015 before Jonathan handed over, a bag of 50kg mama gold rice was 9,500. Today it’s north of 80,000. That means 20,000 could get you two bags of mama gold rice back then.

Lies from the pit of hell. When naira was 180, APC and their hoards of ignorant minions screamed that it was too high.

OP don't be ignorant UniIlorin has always ran their system like this.
It is the only Federal university that doesn't go on strike.
How about we condemn your ignorance first before you condemn what you know nothing about

That's exaggeration. Ten years ago was under Buhari. Ten years ago to today, naira hasn't lost value 10 folds

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

I paid 12k+ in 400l in same unilorin in 2011.

You don't believe it because you choose not to, but that's the truth.

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

education has got beyond how many could afford it. If that's the only way it could be revamped may it be so.

DeLaRue:
I think Universities like OAU, FUTA and other 'good' public Universities around thee country still charge around N100,000 or less for tuition.

I hear University of Ilorin has a good reputation for completing their academic programmes within the specified period.

It is possible that is why they feel confident they can charge higher and still attract students willing to pay.

Are you minding the ignorant folks, UniIlorin is the only Federal University that doesn't go on strike.
And they have maintained that standard for years.
I hear there is actually a penalty they pay for not joining strike and the institution pays it everytime.
I wonder why some folks think everything is about politics.
UniIlorin school fees has always been higher than other federal universities.

ogascomax:
Those supporting Dangote is like you supporting Federal Government against union. Now ASUU is putting the burden on families, student and sponsors. Because if they strike over government injustice some will say they like strike a lots. So now people are suffering this high fees now.
Who will fight for the students right now?

Dangote is a private business
This is a federal university

Not far from it though

FG is paying the school fees. Don’t tell me you have not been reading about Students Loan by FG or is it only bad news you hear?

Focusmind:
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.

i cant figure what you trying to justify here, buh however that "Abroad you mention you take vex me

1. What's the rate of unemployment abroad
2. What's the minimum wage and cost of living, how much salary remains when you buy food

Fiy, Abroad there are subsidized schools or programs you can enroll, that offer a credible certificate to work, the school loans are accessible, flexible with conducive installment plans

emeraldlife:
I think you may be lying.

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

That's not a lie. My 200L, I paid around 43k, 300L, I paid 12,200 while 400L, it was jerked up to 27,200. Even, my postgraduate degree program was 115,500 from the same school.

Lol! Now that they've floated the Naira, so, the official exchange today tells us the real value?

Also, does the cost of the dollar determine the cost of local education for the best labor (a reasonable and necessary input in any economy targeting transitioning to a producing nation) of the largest black nation? Joke of the year!

The true position is that the idea was copied from the West. The government does not want to subsidize anything including education. It's a revenue-generating government. From the budget allocation you can tell the plans they have... Nothing more, nothing less.

Total fees in my days no reach 300k

Is it the students that made it so?

Education has and is still heavily subsidized in Nigeria. Let's think about it, who pays $270 (#406,000) tution to study pharmacy? The intriguing part is that the more our population grows, the more unsustainable it is to subsidize anything.

Started with 10k under Late President Umaru Yaradua and later ended with 12k under Former President Jonathan.

Both pms and foreign exchange subsidies are good, infact those are the real benefits from government that reaches every citizens but Nigeria factor of corruption and fraudulent practices have made it impossible to continue with.

Walai:

That's still expensive. In our days we only paid less than #500.00 yes, five hundred naira for toiletries and that's all. This was till up to early 2000's oooh.

However, we can't continue as it was in the past. The world has evolved. Population has increased. To obtain quality education, you must pay for it. Most of our children in private primary and secondary schools pay far more than what is being displayed here. That's the bitter truth.

Kingosytex:
Lol
I paid about 57k in first year for engineering some years ago.
Nawaoo, Naija don finish kpatakpata

I remember when some students in SUG were rusticated for leading a protest against fee increase from 2500 to 6k.

AI Overview

Yes, many private university employees in the U.S. have unions, and they have the legal right to form them. This applies to various employee groups, including faculty, graduate student workers, and other staff.

If not because of oppressive behaviour by Nigeria leaders even private institutions are supposed to have Unions.
If Dangote has built is refinery in Europe or even in the Indian that he is bringing workers from would say that the workers can not join union. He does not have the right to say so or he runs it himself or he create robot to run it for him.

jamafa:
Students have access to loan now

For school fees and pocket money(20k) monthly

And what will 20k do for a student monthly? Aside 2ce daily paid for school food, every week each of my pikins runs atleast 30k and that is being conservative.
Even local public primary school for Lagos 20k no fit carry pikin go school not to talk of school fees and pocket money.
