The fees payable by undergraduate students of the University of Lagos UNILAG, Akoka, Lagos, have been increased by the institution’s management.
Politics Nigeria reports that previously, students of the institution paid N19,000.
However, the management has now fixed new fees for different categories of students.
Below are the new fees payable by the students
- Students studying medicine – N190,250
- Courses requiring laboratory and studio – N140, 250.
- Programmes that do not require lab and studio – N100, 750.
This was contained in a statement dated July 20, 2023, by the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) UNILAG branch following a meeting with the top management staff.
According to SSANU, the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Folasade Ogunsola, met with representatives of the three non-academic staff unions on Thursday, July 20, to discuss issues concerning members’ welfare.
The union said:
“During the meeting, the proposed fees for undergraduate students of UNILAG were disclosed. Students without lab and studio use will pay N100,750, those with lab use will pay N140,250, and college of medicine would pay N190,250.”
Meanwhile, a SSANU representative at the meeting, Rasaki Yusuf, asked for a rebate for staff members with children in the university.
But the VC said the new charges were set nationally and could not be modified for specific categories of students.
Ogunsola, however, gave the option of staff paying in instalments but with a condition to pay up one month before final exams.
