The prevailing economic realities in Nigeria have left us with no option but to increase tuition fees for undergraduate students, says University of Lagos, (UNILAG)Management.
Recall that the internet was awash with the news that UNIL;AG has increased tuition fees for undergraduate with over 200 percent.
According to UNILAG’s management, the hike has become necessary, because of the prevailing economic realities in the country.
This was contained in a statement signed by UNILAG’s Public Relations Officer, Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem.
Alaga-Ibraheem noted that the management has deliberated with its stakeholders (students, parents/guardians, staff unions, and alumni, among others), that there will be adjustments in the tuition fees for new and returning undergraduate students.
It partly read, “The adjustment in fees which will take effect from 1st Semester, 2023/2024 Academic Session, is in view of the prevailing economic realities and the need for the University to be able to meet its obligations to its students, staff, and municipal service providers among others.
“It is also pertinent to note that the University has not increased its obligatory fees in recent years.
“Management, therefore, seeks the kind understanding and support of students and other stakeholders with the assurance of its commitment towards ensuring that students get the best learning experience.”
