The fee increase, affecting both fresh and returning students operating regular programmes, caused the students to protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The University managemnt, in response,\u00a0succumbed to the students request by reducing the fees into micro cuts. But in recent development, the ICE students are now raising the alarm over a fresh hike affecting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The students warned that another protest may ensue if an ongoing effort to secure a reversal of the increase proves impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>In August, our class representative told us the full-time students saw an increase in their fees. We asked if ICE students were affected. We were told there is no increase yet. We were later told there will be none,\u201d the source said.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cOn September 12 when our results dropped, we were told to log onto the portal and pay our fees and that the good news was that our fee rates are still the same. I checked and it was true. There was no hike, the same \u20a6171,000.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBefore now, \u20a6150,000 had been for the school fees while \u20a621,000 covers obligatory fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cBut on September 19, our course representatives alerted us that our fees had been increased. I checked and discovered it has been increased to \u20a6225,000. This is ridiculous. We are just ICE students taking evening classes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>Why should we pay \u20a6225,000? During strikes, we still sit at home like the day students. We do not get special treatment to receive lectures. And our fees are already higher than those at the Distant Learning Institute (DLI).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI can\u2019t afford \u20a6225,000. We are to resume from break on October 3, and they increased fees on September 19.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>Some of us work during the day and go to class in the evening. After we hustled \u20a6171,000, the management added \u20a654,000 to the fees. If this trend continues, they might increase it again and we will end up paying over \u20a6300,000<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThe economy is harsh. I do not earn a salary, so I have to trade and even miss my tests to make \u20a6171,000 alone. I cannot afford to drop out because my programme has already been delayed by the strike and pandemic lockdown.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of the time of this report, sources within the UNILAG management had yet to respond to enquiries by TheCable on the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A protester, who also spoke on UNILAG\u2019s fee cuts for regular students, said the university is already issuing refund forms to undergraduates who were pressured to pay the hiked fee rates under different circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his words, <em>\u201cWhile the move is welcomed, I just want to remind them that 20,000 here, 5,000 there, and 3,000 somewhere kind of reduction is not what we are fighting for,\u201d the protesting 500-level student added<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThey should be ready to refund more because these fees must be reverted. A \u20a6350,000 hike went back to \u20a625,000 at the Lagos State University in 2013. It\u2019s about to repeat itself in UNILAG. The students will defend their interest.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: The Cable<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Lagos (UNILAG) may have raised fees for students running their degree programmes under its Institute for Continuing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3476,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
