The students lamented that the about 300 percent increase in the hostel fee came amid growing hardship and rising prices of commodities in Nigerian markets.
Rejecting the fee hike, the Students’ Solidarity Group Against Fee Hike Secretariat in a statement described the hike as provocative, saying that while they were expecting the management of the university to fulfill the promise it made at its only meeting with the students’ delegation, the school management rather announced a “300 percent” increase in the hostel fees.
“We have predicted correctly and made this known to everyone who cared to listen, that the school fee increment is not the final destination of the Professor Folasade Ogunsola-led administration and it is not the only fee that would be hiked. We said every other living and learning service students use, will experience a serious hike.
The statement added, “You do not need a degree from Harvard to understand the consequences that would follow the school fee hike. Lecturers will be forced to commercialize anything they can find, they will sell “hand-outs” to students openly, to also settle their own bills.
