The way we Nigerians crave for titles, especially those in leadership positions eh? Look at the SUG letter headed paper, His Excellency added to the President's name. Make God help us

These figures are still cheap compared to AAU.
AAU students will celebrate if their school fees is reduced to this level.
If you see AAU students, abeg show them love because dey don too pay dues.

When peter obituary becomes Biafra president.the school fees shall be 500000.

ThinkSmarter:
Many State varsities in the south have been paying up to these range of fees.
The varsities should be able to fund itselves from the money generated after befitting facilities might have been built and handed over to them.

The moment we realize that university education isn't cheap,the better for us.....university education isn't compulsory and shouldn't be for everyone.

Somebody goes to university almost free for 4 years to study accounting and after graduation ends up emigrating out of the country or even ends up being a fashion designer or comedian.....that is a total waste of government resources,same person will come out after being trained by same govt and ask government to be providing jobs for him.

Now students will understand why ASUU has been fighting for their academics. Reduced school fees, enhanced study environment and good renumerations has been the major reasons that ASUU has been fighting for. Now this devilish APC government has told ASUU that the only way for them to give academic staff good renumerations and enhanced education is by increasing the school fees. With the collapse of the last strike, it's going to be terrible for students. Your school fees are going to the moon now. The truth is that the directive is coming from minister of education approved by president Buhari. So the VCs are incapacitated hence must carry out the directives.
With the IPPIS issues, the university autonomy is gone. I will suggest that the students should take their anger to ministry of education and aso rock.

ASUU should Bleep off with their selfish fight... Any small thing ASUU is fighting fighting for who??

BeardGangJnr1:
How can I pay 85k in a federal university...that is madness.
Pls if u are a UNN student..don't create that invoice yet.
No single Fed school in the North is paying above 50k as school fees.... why's Charles igwe want to finish Us in UNN...is it a crime to attend a fed uni in Igbo land
100% increment is just too much...and it's not as if standard of living, administration or lectures is going to change.

Some people just say wrong statistics very confidently..
That no fed school in the North pay above 50k as school fees

Still very cheap

Federal university should be from 300k since FG cannot fund it

the student should stage a non ending protest but agree to pay if only tge school will permanently pull out from.ASUU.....

u cant charge this high and still b going on strike with ASUU in a federal school

This is a direct consequence of the failure of government to yield to ASUU's demands. Finally, students will bear the brunt of funding tertiary education in Nigeria.

Very soon quality education will be a thing of the past for even the already wiped out middle class.When that happens this country should just get ready for a complete lock down .

but tomorrow they will say they trained Nigerian doctors and nurses travelling out ?? And foolishly some people will still support and believe which shocks me.. because I expected to see health sciences exempted.. lol

They are testing the waters there is more to come

samuelpeters:

UNN is not a state university. It is one of the top universities in Nigeria with a very strong alumni. They are not the only ones experiencing this our Nigeria.
It is day light robbery

Federal government has reduced funding

sirnewton20:
We need to realize that we are no longer in the 90s. Paying 120k per session isn't too outrageous for a medical student. If you think Education is costly, try ignorance

The problem with this statement is that ignorance doesn't just affect an individual, it throws a whole nation into darkness.

Just imagine if Nigerians are 80% literate and academically sound.

Education has gone beyond an individual will and if in a nation, the people have no desire for education, the government there should be worried. Some states are easy to govern in Nigeria. Why is it so? A large part of their population are educated.

Lecturer Wey Get Happy Home No Dey Fix 7am lecture fa

kingsways:
These fees are reasonable

85k is just a little more than 100 Dollars and that’s way cheaper than many other climes

Are you minding them? If they don't want to attend they should give chance for those willing to pay. Imagine 120k for law, 100k or so for medicine etc some courses sef 85k in a whole federal university!
Those paying 2.4m for law and 5m for medicine nko in private universities, wount it be a thing of joy if they are told to pay eg 500k in federal uni?

No wonder employers are comfortable paying peanuts as salary to University graduates.

Nigerians are actually studying for free. 120k per session for Medical school? This is one thing to commend the government for.

People spend millions of naira per semester to acquire same degree.

So they can now protest, what do they expect when federal government can no longer give adequate funding to the university system, the funds gats to come from somewhere to correct the deteriorating learning system and facilities.

Exactly... this is what the FG have always wanted, other federal universities will follow suit..


Plus the student loan bill that was passed last week ....... make i no talk too much

Just read the release from the SUG.. it is important to clarify that all those requirement lists are the responsibility if the FG, of which ASUU has been fighting for i.e revitalization

Na wao, what a tremendous increase, back in the days when I was an undergraduate, I remember paying 31k as a fresher, 27k second yr, 21k 3rd yr and 18k final yr. Business faculty precisely. Hotel then was 9k. (2006-2010)

Some of those students attended Nursery schools where their parents payed 100k/term ie over 300/session


We want western quality education without paying even as little as 1/10 what's been paid by westerns for it


Tetiary Education isn't a right but a privilege. These spoilt brats had better understand this

N100,000 = 125 dollars!

University students in Nigeria are crying because they're required to pay 125 dollars as school fees!

And like the Pharisees we are, we daily wail about the falling standard of education.

Still some are saying vote APC

casppyjay:

Juxtapose the N120k (after 100% increment) to the over N10m it costs to get trained in Europe or America.

Minimum wage in Nigeria is about 40 dollars. Did you consider that in your comparison?

How most people are saying the increment is still cheap still baffles me. Maybe y'all are from well to do homes. Bear it in mind that most students in Federal schools come from poor or struggling middle class homes. Where are their parents going to get the money from?. Is it with the miserable minimum wage FG is paying them. Many students even sponsor themselves while at school.
Supporters of this especially those ones that equalled the fees to how much it is in dollars, should please open a gofundme account to sponsor some of the students affected since you all can comfortably afford 125 dollars.

Too bad...

emorse:

ok but the countries u mention have educational grants/student loans and even free education juxtapose that..

It's the way you guys reason that baffles me. Do Nigerians earn in Dollars? So why comparing the school fees to dollars? Why bring it in the first place if not for your "suffering mentality" that is peculiar to most Nigerians.

If you want to keep the comparisons then why not compare the salary of doctors in US to that in Nigeria. Why not ask the fg to pay doctors in Nigeria $500k per year?

Ignorance coupled with witless pretense.
