Proposed increment in UI tuition fee
Legit.ng earlier reported that the University of Ibadan, a federal institution, reportedly joined the list of federal universities that have massively increased tuition fees since the signing of the student loan bill into law by President Bola Tinubu.
In a tweet by OmoIyawoli on Thursday, August 10, a breakdown of the payment students of the University of Ibadan (UI) would start paying from the academic session showed lab courses-related students would pay N230,500; non-lab students 125,500 while studio and digital students will pay 175,000.
President Tinubu speaks on universities' tuition fee increment
Meanwhile, President Bola Tinubu denied the report that his administration increased the tuition fees of federal universities across the country, saying that the university remains tuition free.
Dele Alake, the spokesperson to the president, in a statement on Wednesday, July 26, said the federal universities only announced “discretionary charges” for registration, laboratory, and hostel accommodation, among others.
The statement, shared by Bayo Onanuga, a member of the presidential inaugural committee, emphasised that “They are not tuition fees.”
