Students of the University of Ibanda are currently in shock over the recent increment of fees in the institution especially in the the school's college of Medicine.
According ot LIB findings, as at last session, the school fees was #25,000 while accommodation fees was #14,000, however, this session the school fees has increased to #31,150 while accommodation fees to #30, 000 and #40,000 for students in the medical hostel.
But the major issue and fee increment that particularly affects students in college of medicine is a new levy called 'clinical training levy' which ranges from #75, 000 to #100,000. This fee affects medical students, dental students, nursing, human nutrition, med lab, physiotherapy, physiology, biochemistry and so on.
Some students who spoke on the condition of anonymity said,
'they (school authorities) have been giving excuses like 'the federal government is no longer funding us' and all, but the major question is why only UI? UI isn't the only school offering these courses and yet it is the only one that wants to impose a levy. Our student union was also suspended last year so I think this is an attempt by the school authorities to impose the fees on us hoping we wouldn't put up a fight'.
Another student said, 'what happenes to people that cannot afford it? Some of my classmates could not even afford the previous fees and now they have to deal with this increment? Most of the hostels are in a very bad condition. The hostels are overcrowded, bed bug infested with hiccuping light and water supply yet we are asked to pay more. That is only acceptable if living conditions in The hostels are improved'.
Some other students have already taken to social media to call out the school authorities...
With the 293% increase in School fees, The University of Ibadan college of Medicine becomes only affordable to the rich. Really?! The parents that will fall sick while gathering resources to pay will be admitted to the same UCH and still pay money #Noto100k#collegeofmedicineUI
@mofeoyatogun government decided to invest a billion dollars in ??security yet reportedly withdrew 4 billion naira from the funds available to university of ibadan which has led to over 100 percent hike in school fees and someone people are saying it's fair and reasonable smh
Please help us..... help students in the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan. They have increased our school fees, from about 47k to 173k.... please save the poor children....Education Sud be for all.... SAY NO TO FEE HIKE
Lol. I don't even have a caption. I'm short of words. What's the difference between the prestigious Federal University of Ibadan, and a private institution then? IT'S NOT EVEN A PART OF THE SCHOOL FEES! IT'S A SPECIAL "HEALTH PROFESSIONAL TRAINING LEVY"! EXTORTION! #noto100k
Now that UI have decided to increase our school fees to over 100,000, I am planning to sell one of my kidneys.
