We’ve been getting quite a number 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.
