Students are reportedly prepared to drop out over tuition hike
Some students of Adekunle Ajasin University may choose to drop out as state government increases their tuition fee from N35k to N180k.
Following the tuition fee hike at Adekunle Ajasin University in Ondo State, some indigent students are reportedly prepared to withdraw from the institution due to their inability to pay their new fees.
According to Akure News, following the tuition hike, which was increased from N30,000 to N180,000, some students have allegedly shunned the ongoing registration, which is billed to end on Saturday, May 26, 2018.
One of the students of the University, Richard Olaosebikan, who spoke with newsmen said he was yet to pay the new school fees, as he is still struggling to meet up.
The 300-Level undergraduate of the Department of Political Science said he is trying to talk to some people who could help him before the payment deadline.
“Paying new fees has been difficult for me because things are very hard. I have struggled to make part-payment and I hope I could meet up to pay the rest before the close of portal on Saturday. I am speaking to some people who could help me and I pray they respond before then. I am presently in school to see what I can do and I hope that I will meet up” he said.
