UNILORIN announces reduction in student fees
The University of Ilorin authorities on Monday announced a downward review of the fees paid by students for the 2022-2023 academic session following the resumption of academic activities.
The announcement of the new charges came after a series of meetings between the university management led by the Vice-Chancellor (Academic), Professor Abayomi Omotesho, and the students’ union led by Comrade Joseph Adesunkanmi Ologundudu.
The new fees range from 114,720 Naira to 215,820 Naira for new students and 52,700 Naira to 91,430 Naira for returning students, depending on the course of study.
This reflects a significant reduction from the previously announced fees (ranging from N138,240 to N254,640 for new students and N69,360 to N103,560 for returning students, depending on the course of study).
The university initially announced the accusations on November 24, 2023 through its official social media platforms, but announced a downward review on November 28, 2023 after meeting with student union leadership.
The newspaper quoted the vice-chancellor as saying the university had demonstrated its commitment to addressing student concerns through dialogue and fostering a supportive and beneficial learning environment for all members of the academic community.
In response, the President of the Students’ Union, Comrade Ologundudu, expressed his appreciation for the thoughtfulness of the university management reflected in the adjustment of the charges.
