“Our School fees before the current Vice chancellor was between N5600, he increase it to N90000 and subsequently increased it to N130,000 but refuse to allow students pay installmentally” The student explained.
The policy, which mandates that students must settle their tuition fees in full before being allowed to sit for examinations, has sparked outrage among the student body
