UNILAG Seeks Students' Understanding Over Fees Increment

The vice chancellor said the university was inundated with several financial commitments and expenses and the needed increase which is coming fifteen years after it had maintained the same tuition fees.

She called for understanding from the public as the school had shouldered many responsibilities on behalf of the students, adding that most of the 43 federal universities in Nigeria, had to increase fees to allow them survive as government subvention was dwindling. Some students who were said to be members of National Association of Nigerian Students and of the university on Wednesday last week took to the streets to protest the hike in fees by authorities.
