As contained in the statement signed by the University’s Public Relations Officer, Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem, the school hike was a careful decision made after several deliberations with parents, students, staff, staff union and alumni.
It also noted that the new school fees would take effect from the 1st Semester 2023/2024 Academic Session.
The statement reads:
“The adjustment in fees which will take effect from 1st Semester, 2023/2024 Academic Session, is in view of the prevailing economic realities and the need for the University to be able to meet its obligations to its students, staff, and municipal service providers among others.”

The statement concludes:
“It is also pertinent to note that the University has not increased its obligatory fees in recent years.
