Students of the University of Abuja have expressed concern over the strain of high fees charged by the institution and alleged poor state of the school portal.
Nasarawa State University, Keffi charges as acceptance fee N10,315 while Federal University of Technology Minna charges N20,000 as acceptance fee. A student of the Department of Biological Sciences who gave his name as Austin said; “The changes the vice chancellor brought are quite okay but a little bit harsh on students. Students are going through a lot of stress because of that. I will suggest that he goes to speak with students on their challenges with the online results and stuff like that, because I believe there are mistakes in posting results. When you check most times what is on the hardcopy is different from what’s online.
Jibrin Dantani, a final year student in the department of art education who decried the inconsistency on the portal said some results students passed in 200 level are shown as carry over or outstanding in their 300 level. He said when the students approach the school authorities sometimes they’ll attend to them and guide them on steps to follow to solve the problem, but that sometimes they make it difficult.
