I think it's right to enforce laptops on every undergrad and graduate students...this is an age where everybody should be proficient in using computers. Besides, if u school abroad, most times materials are given in soft copies. Even here in Nigeria, many lecturers have started issuing soft copy of materials and there are tons of additional reading materials on d Web.

What I disagree with is the price they're billing for it...#70k is too much for what u can class as a student/low end laptop. There are laptops of 50-55k and even 11 inch netbooks for as low as 40k and these would serve equally well for academic purposes. #70k is nothing but a rip off and I can bet what they'll give the students for that price won't have market value that's above #55k.

What happens if an individual already owns a laptop?lipsrsealed They should av just asked everybody to come with their laptops...hmm, naija.

This is madness! How could someone possibly enforce such policy on students without subjecting it to deliberation for deem fit. If laptops should be made mandatory, why not give out at a subsidized rate(20-30k only). With this harsh economy, someone is adding salt to a painful injury.

What is this country turning to biko? Is it now a must to own a laptop?Okay say it's actually good , because people need to be computer literate and whatnot as the world is now in the age of soft copy, why not make the rate subsidized? This is actually crazy

Very unfair! UNN is just a name. The authority of the sch should be replaced immediately with sane people. This is totally unacceptable in this era

don't you just love Nigeria?
Well, this is done even in Institutions in the US for example, it's just given a different name...like Technology fee....But this is for maintenance of computer labs that students use for their coursework and have access to anytime! But i guess in UNN's case they actually purchase the laptops for the students?

70k for laptop. Let's see the kind of laptop the school will give them. Something tells me it will be one refurbished problematic unwanted machine from China. Something that should not even be sold for 30k.

The laptop design is HP 255 G3. That's what students are forced to pay #70,000 for. Some have paid already, so other's would have to follow suit. The SU government are just docile.
Re: Laptop Fee In UNN Causes Hardship Among Students (photos) by pweetyoge(f): 8:04am On Nov 08, 2015
The SUG should do something about it,unless he has been compromised..if I recall vividly,the former vice chancellor in my time Bartho okolo who succeeded Prof Nebo osita,tried hiking the school fees.it resulted to a protest and shut down...but at last,the students won...but tnx to the SUG president then, even though he faced sanction...UNN's VC should better take his time o,before what happened to Mbanefo,Bartho okolo would repeat itself

Wtf. What if people already had a laptop? What if they could get a laptop for 30k or even less?

As far as I am concerned that laptop charge is insane to say the least. It should be reversed with immediate effect!

This is when the SUG voice should be heard but they will keep mute because their leaders were installed, not elected.

UNILORIN asked students to pay for IPAD too. I heard it is about N56K. Too bad that our academic leaders are now dictators and cheaters

This issue has obviously lingered. UNN belongs to the Fed. Govt.; let them intervene.

Let me summarise: UNN VC, simply known as Dr. Ozumba compelled all the newly admitted students of UNN to pay 70,000 naira as Laptop Fee which the school will supply. The fee has caused a lot of hardship in the new intakes as it escalated the school fees to 170,000 naira.

Acceptance fee: 25,000
School fees: 60 - 65,000
Laptop fee: 70,000
Accommodation: 10,000(boys) 11,000(girls)

Total: 165,000 - 171,000

The students have expressed their discomfort with this to no avail. They are of the view that some have laptops already, some say that they can get a nice Laptop with just 40,000. Yet the case the case still remains "No laptop fee, no clearance in UNN"

The SUG on their own have not done a thing concrete to reverse this. That's the summary of the status quo in UNN now.

Here are some screenshots:


I'd suggest you forget the SUG, organize yourselves, get a good lawyer, and sue the school. If they want to increase tuition fees, they should be transparent about it instead of covering their nonsense with an illusionary Laptop fees for freshmen.
