Management of the University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos State, has reportedly increased the fees for undergraduate students of the UNILAG.
This was disclosed in a statement by the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, UNILAG branch on July 20, 2023.
The statement was released following a meeting held with the top management staff.
SSANU stated that the VC said fees would be increased for UNILAG undergraduate students.
The students of the institution previously paid N19,000 but the management has increased the fee to N190,250 for students studying medicine.
Students studying courses that require laboratory and studio are to pay N140,250.
According to the union, the VC Prof. Folasade Ogunsola met with representatives of the three non-academic staff unions on Thursday, July 20th to discuss issues concerning members’ welfare.
“During the meeting, the proposed fees for undergraduate students of UNILAG were disclosed.
“Students without lab and studio use will pay N100,750, those with lab use will pay N140,250 and the college of medicine would pay N190,250,” the statement said.
Rasaki Yusuf, a representative of SSANU at the meeting, asked for a rebate for staff members with children in the university but the VC insisted that the new charges were set nationally and could not be modified for specific categories of students.
Ogunsola, however, gave the option of students paying in instalments but with a condition to pay up one month before final exams.
