Condemnations, outrage over increment of acceptance fee to N50, 000 in UI

Condemnations have continued to trail the recent increment of acceptance fee at the University of Ibadan to N50,000.

“During our own time, there is nothing like an acceptance fee. This one is too outrageous. N50,000 is enough for someone to complete a university degree if the system is working. We want the management to look into this and rescind the decision.” “It is the property of Nigeria, the federal government. Now that this university is charging this amount for only the acceptance fee, what will happen in other universities like private or state universities?”Meanwhile, a group, Concerned Students’ Against Tuition Fees movement has advised the university of Ibadan management to abide by the directive of the National Universities Commission and stop the collection of acceptance fee.

“We, of the Concerned Students’ Against Tuition Fees movement, find it imperative to unequivocally oppose the decision to charge prospective students into the University of Ibadan, as well as the determined act to hike the same fee from N37,500 to N50,000. As a concerned movement, we are opposed to the commercialization of education in the many forms it may appear.

“It is disturbing that three years after the issuance of such a directive, acceptance fees are still being collected by Universities and even more disconcerting is its increase from N37,500 in the previous year, to N50, 000 as in the case of the University of Ibadan, a fee which is way above the minimum wage in Nigeria. We can only consider this an attempt to commercialise education and make it the exclusive reserve of the haves.
