of emails from the medical students
of Afe Babalola University.
Apparently their school fees was
increased today from N1.7m to
N2.6m and they are very unhappy
about it.
“Behold the most expensive
university in Nigeria. In view of
the current hike in fees which is
really bizarre we as students have
expressed our sincere
disappointment but this is not a
single battle. Initially, the fees
was approximately N1.7m but
rose overnight to N2.6m. Our
parents are complaining and we
are feeling their pains because
they want us to achieve our
dreams.
We really need the social media
to join us in this battle. This
exploitation must stop. We can’t
protest because we will be
expelled” A student wrote in
Another student wrote;
“I a 300level Medical Student at
the Afe Babalola University. I
would like to use this medium to
inform you that there was an
increase in the fees of medical
students at the clinical level today
by over 1.4 million Naira totaling
the fee to about 2.6 million Naira.
There had been an outrageous
and unacceptable outcry by the
students. Please your support in
this fight against extortion and
exploitation would be so much
appreciated by the entire student
community.”
Their fees were increased from
over 900k which they had been
paying originally, to over 1million
and then to the heavily debatable
1.7million to the unbelievably
outstanding and outlandish
2.6million, which it is unfairly set
at, right this moment. There have
been calls for justice and change by
many of the ABUAD students, not
just those in the 400 level but in
300, 200 and even the 100 levels,
and even students from other
departments.
