Fellow Nairalanders,

I came across a disturbing report making the rounds – Ekiti State University (EKSU) is allegedly charging ₦125,000 for graduates to collect their original certificates. Let that sink in: not for a new degree, not for a masterclass or skill acquisition, but just to collect the one thing you worked hard for – your own certificate.

This raises serious questions:

1. What exactly are students paying for?
EKSU students pay tuition, development fees, examination fees, departmental fees, and even convocation fees. So why should there be another ₦125k hurdle for a document that should be part of the graduation process?

2. Is this legal or just pure extortion?
A university is a public institution. Unless there's a transparent, Senate-approved reason for such a fee (like printing on gold or shipping to Mars), ₦125,000 feels more like extortion than administration.

3. How does this compare to other universities?
Many federal and state universities charge between ₦5,000 to ₦20,000 for certificate collection. Even private universities with far higher tuition rarely go beyond ₦50,000. Why is EKSU this expensive?

4. What about the struggling graduates?
In a country with mass unemployment and inflation, this charge is not only unfair – it’s insensitive. Imagine a graduate who's yet to secure a job, now being asked to pay that much just to prove they graduated.

5. Accountability matters
If EKSU truly needs funds, they should publish a breakdown of the certificate production cost and make it public. Otherwise, it looks like a means to exploit thousands of students and their parents.

Final Thoughts:
Education is a right, not a luxury. The certificate is a symbol of academic achievement, not a luxury item. If graduates can't even access it without breaking the bank, what’s the point of the whole process?

Let’s speak up before other institutions copy this model. We must demand fairness, transparency, and respect for students who already sacrificed years and finances to earn their degrees.

What are your thoughts? Are you an EKSU student or alum who’s been affected? Drop your experiences.

You didn't talk about getting transcript from EKSU which is another headache. I paid for transcript since last year September, I have not gotten it till now.

I told them to forward it to an official email of one higher institution after payment to school account, I was told is not possible that I should pay another money to DHL to come and collect it from School. Till now , have not received it.

Common equalising goal, see as area scatter. What if they now qualified?
Sounds of nuclear bombs would be nothing compared to the noises we would hear in this area

My fiancé has chronic mouth odour but I don't know how to tell her so that she won't feel bad or hurt.

So Guy's I really need your advice medically and how to go about it without hurting her thank you all.

Tell her to be brushing her teeth nd tongue two time in a day. She should be taken much water to help her digestive system. She should also avoid ginger,garlic nd smoking. She should be taken milk.

Comments like this only lend credence to the fact that Nigeria is indeed not ripe for democracy.

You don't see anything wrong with the president (of all Nigerians) holding a political party meeting at the FEC meeting chambers?
What's the business of Nigerians with the internal affairs of the APC that warrants the use of a public building for their meeting?
Perhaps the PDP, AAC, APGA, KOWA et al should also book the same location for their subsequent meetings.

...and to crown their ignominy, the comic opera even featured a supposed Attorney-General and Nigeria's Minister of Justice administering Oath of Office to a party chieftain!

It's almost certain they also channeled public resources into funding that show-of-shame.

These charlatans in power keep plunging us to new lows and setting terrible precedents with each passing day.
It's unfortunate.

In fact u have really spoken what is in mind. Kudos

Is the Governor that will organize primary election? Shuaibu should wait till the day of the primary. Obaseki will come far 3rd. Even if the court disqualify Ize-Iyamu, There will still be someone in the 2nd position and that won’t be Obaseki. This is a chess game and it’s not for the lousy mouths like Shuaibu and co.

Chess is a game of tactics. You don't conclude dt you will win in chess when ur opponent is making good moves. So you don't conclude until after primary election.

He thought he's acting..RIP Dotun

Less than 1% of the people in oyo state are working for oyo state.that is marginal.he has to make impact on other sectors e.g agric and others.this is not what he said in his campaign promises,paying salary and pension is a good thing but it's not everything about government.part of the salaries and pension being made is made up of taxes from people from other sectors.he has to do sth for these people.

Ahhhh..1% keh bros!!! I am from Oyo state as well, Ogbomoso to be precise. Go and do your calculations again.. You shouldnt base your argument on assumption or sentiment. Bros workers and pensner in Oyo state are more dn 58%, you may search for it.

u are talking as if I m not in ibadan.which school is he renovating and perhaps what's my biz with ajumobi.its obvious u don't have any fact.u mean the contract he awarded like 4days ago as a fallout of the meeting with lanleyin and others and if I may ask u how many kilometers of road are we talking about(apete and others) in the face of ravaging corona virus in the state.what a poor timing!when states that have not recorded any case are taking proactive measures to mitigate the effect of covid_19?circular road my foot,where is the circular road?the 100 bed u are talking about that NMA are urging him to do better,(compare it with that of Lagos and ogun)I m sure u have not been there and u are only reading on the pages of newspaper.how many ventilators do u have there?pls u and his commissioner for info(aka omo iya alagbo)can only hoodwink those not living in oyo state.apart from payment of salary and pension he is not doing anything special.for your info the commissioner of info specifically mentioned it on a live program that the books especially for primary schools are not enough

"apart from payment of salary and pension he is not doing anything special"

Above statement from you is d best achievement of all. Do you realize d number of people Dt will benefit or safe wt d regular salary been paid? Besides, Compare d supports from different sectors for d state you mentioned with Oyo state. Compare d allocation and IGR as well.

Consequently, is too early to judge or conclude. Let's encourage him to do more instead of condemnation.

Thank you.

DontBullshitMe:
Incompetent leader/Populist governor.

He was busy organising rally and tongue lashing Ajimobi and APC rather than take proactive steps and measure at limiting the spread of Coronavirus in Oyo state.

Now, he's a victim.

Every man for himself. I have no words of prayer.

Hmmmm... Hope you have taken your time to read what you have written, if you have .... Just imagine d way you think!!!
