I keep saying that some people don't read with an open mind, and sorry, you are one of them.
If the fees are increased and used well, won't the University build more classrooms? Won't they buy more equipment and subscriptions? Won't they employ better lecturers? A lot can be done with an increase in fees and judicious use of such funds.

In the abroad many of their students are on student loan I hope you know that?

sad Good day Nairalanders

I came here to report a very big problem that should be addressed by the school authority or the state Government.
School resumption is slated for 10th May for returning students and I just went to my portal now to pay my fees . What I saw was far from shocking as the school has added ridiculous fees to milk the student community dry embarassed angry
What is portal access fee
Sports fee
I can't get my hand on all the screenshot but this is bad for struggling students.
My total school fees is now 90k
This is unacceptable cry
But 90k for a University education is okay and cheap.

The thing that should be encouraged if University fees are high, say above 350k, is scholarships.
However, fees for technical and other practical tertiary education should be lower

So? Most secondary s school students pay more than 100k yearly as school fees. University fees in Nigeria should be increased to 1m. So that we will have fewer graduates and they will get jobs. Others should go to technical school for courses like automobile coupling, skyscraper construction, elevator repair etc.


Guy!!! angry angry

This is funny and at the same time sensible. Oil dey your head.

Lol... RSU fees have been within same range for over 4 years, my younger one just finished from there and I remember always paying that high. The funny thing is that you don't get to know the total amount until you start making payments, and their payments are done online.

After paying for Portal Charge, it takes you to another payment, you make about 6 different payments before you're done and I know the least I ever paid for her was about 79K.

With the way our higher institutions are charging students, in the next 10years road side mechanics, artisans, market women and men will not be able to send their children to higher institutions again. God will they your hands.

This may sound harsh, but if children of such road side mechanics etc have gone to our horrible public primary and secondary school, in all liklihood they have no business being in university. Except they happen to be brilliant.

The problem with Nigeria is that we still have this outdated mindset that every single person has to go to university. That made sense in the 50's to 70's when white collar jobs were plenty.

Now the children of market women, road side mechanic etc should use their secondary education and apply it to a technical trade. That's what intro tech was supposed to be when it was introduced into the curriculum.

University education is meant to be for the brightest and best and not every riff raff.

We have commonised University, especially in the North with useless low cut off marks.

If these fees will make the school better, so be it. Of what use is it to attend a Nigerian University and you can't compete with others from other parts of the world for a job? N90K is about $220 ooo



Lol, truely it's one one the cheapest universities in the world when you look at the dollar face value. I agree with you in terms of increasing more funding and improving the quality of education in the country. Unfortunately, a large chunk of people attending these instructions live below the poverty line and have to go through a lot to break even with regards to footing the bills for their programmes. Rivers government should continue to invest heavily in subsidizing education for it's citizens, that's the way to go.

What you are saying is that all low income eaners who have smart kids that can go places with University education should go and die?
Why not maintain the status quo for fees since its subsidized only in government schools and then a quota for higher education entry should be placed in order to admit only top notch students instead if disqualifying these top students because they have no funds. Naturally those who don't meet up while consider other facets of learning as you enumerated until we are able to plan for our citizens as a country.

some people pay $100k a year for University degree, you are paying 90K ($200) and you are complaining? but you will find 90k to buy phone!!! Tommorow you will graduate and wonder why your $200 degree can only land you a job as a receptionist or Dangote driver.

You said "people pay", and you are not even included among the ones who pay $100k; yet you are claiming it's meagre.

you are claiming to have money; why aren't you the richest person on Earth.

Mind you, the total expenses paid during ones course of study has no relationship with the Calibre/type of job, it depends on the grade.

Your post is totally pointless. I suggest you learn how to think properly when next you are to comment on a post.

You have just shown you are a beneficiary of the 90K naira fees type of education...or less. See how logical deduction has failed you because poor quality education does not produce logical minds capable of critical thinking. Where did I say I am rich? where did I say $100k is meagre? Did i say all good education costs $100k? This is how you fail in life, how you fail interviews and why you dont get ahead in your jobs. A poorly funded education will not produce graduates capable of thinking properly. This is why a poor quality education will hamper you in later life, you are educated by lower quality lecturers, surrounded by lower quality colleagues and it affects you thinking and your mindset.

The people who benefited from good education when this country still produced quality graduates are sending their children abroad paying £5-10k a term for secondary school, talk less university. You think they want to pay such high fees? it's because they know the schools here are crap!!!!!!!

Tomorrow you will shout that big men's children are getting all the jobs, why wont they when they went to schools that pay high fees and you are complaining of 90K naira fees? cant speak english properly , cant write sentences properly , cant understand sentences or grasp concepts like you have just displayed.

Which professional course can you do for 90K that you expect a university degree to cost less than 90K?
Re: The Ridiculous Fees On Rivers State University Portal by stanliwise(m): 5:28pm On May 05, 2021
COMPAQ:


I don't think N90k fees is unacceptable when you think of what N90k will buy you in the open market. Yet you expect to get N500k a month job in Bank or N1mln in oil company. If you want cheap N20k education, bthrn you should be willing to take minimum wage.

Funny enough, you all will complain that this in unacceptable but still go and pay £20k for masters abroad.

Slap your self 8 times and relax

Did you know there is something called Tax ? And state government grants?

Intelligent kids of poor people will win scholarships. Trying to force kids of the poor into all platforms will only lead to overpopulation and devaluation. If visas were 20k and open to whoever, canada would have been destroyed by now.

Stop the unnecessary rant.
Try to humble yourself. All this one na just pointless noise

The point is: what makes a man what he is depends on his personal development in his specific field-- not even the school.
The school gives you the headstart needed, while you are expected to invest your time and energy on the knowledge, with proper comprehensiveness to impact positively within the environment and the society at large.

In general, the student is expected to go extra mile in his field and not to stop where the school curriculum stops. That is where skillset and innovation comes in.

your education will fail to give you a head start in life if 1) the education you receive is poor quality and is no better than secondary education 2) the students around you are themselves not getting quality education so they are unlikely to amount to much in life 3) the leaders of tommorow do not go to your school so you wont make good contacts for the future. 4) the school itself is not rated by employers so your CV is discarded the minute they see the school.

You get what you pay for, either you pay the fees or the government or some charitable organisation is subsidising the education otherwise you are wasting your time!!!!!! EDUCATION IS NOT FREE!!!!!!! GOOD EDUCATION IS NOT CHEAP!!!!!!

'Intelligent kids of poor people will win scholarships' this is not USA where endowment funds and scholarships are everywhere to catch the smart ones irrespective of social stratification. My only issue with your assertion is where money becomes the modus operandi for setting a bench mark, such system isn't sustainable. Rather intellectual prowess should be the basis. Reducing admission slot automatically decreases admission rate and increases yeald rate for the prospective students, this can only weed out the unsererios from both the rich and poor background making it fair enough policy for academic success to strive.This is what happens in the Nordic countries where cost of education is the least in the Northern hemisphere.
