NEWS Beep: UNILAG Denies Raising Student Fees, Attributes Changes to NELFund Directive…..details

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) says there has been no fresh hike in the fees payable by its undergraduate students.

On Tuesday, UNILAG’s student community raised the alarm about changes in the fees on their portal that suggested an upward review.

In a statement on Wednesday, Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem, the head of UNILAG’s communication unit, clarified that the change in fee was due to the integration of approved dues that students had previously paid for at the faculty and departmental levels.

This, she said, is in line with the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFund) directive to institutions to consolidate all charges payable by students on the student portal.

“This ensures that once students make payment through their official portal, no other payment will be collected at the faculty and departmental levels,” she said.

TheCable reviewed the payment advise from selected undergraduates, a document containing the fees payable by returning students.
