The Governing Council of the University of Ibadan has approved the increment in school fees of students of the university from 100 to 400 level and also fixed deadline for payment.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Registrar and secretary to the council, G.O. Saliu and available to UCJUI on Thursday.
According to the release, the decision was reached at the inaugural meeting of the Council held earlier on Thursday and it considered the new levy as recommended by the Senate of the University.
Students who have not yet completed their registration are advised to do so on or before Wednesday, September 4, 2024, according to the Council’s directive.
“Consequently, students who are yet to pay and complete their registration exercises are advised to do so, on or before Wednesday, 04 September 2024, to enable departments download lists of registered students, in preparation for the First Semester Examination,” the release read in part.
Additionally, the Council urged students to take advantage of financial aids such as the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) and various scholarships offered by the University and other benefactors to assist indigent students.
The Council also made it clear that there would be no extension of the registration deadline, as the portal will be closed after the specified date.
“Council equally directed that students be encouraged to take advantage of the students’ loan fund (NELFUND) and sundry scholarships instituted by the University and other weil-meaning philanthropists, to cater for indigent students.
“Above is for strict adherence as the portal will not be opened after the deadline,” the released further clarified.
Recall that the deadline for the payment of school fees was initially suspended, following the July protest and the Governing Council decision was crucial to fee increment that was previously introduced by the management.
