Oops, the Afe Babalola University students are presently NOT happy and I understand - having your school fees unjustifiably increased (by 40%) can be very annoying and disappointing, yeah, I know what it feels like.
"Please let us not go back to school until they reduce the school fees!! Pass this on people..let us protect our parents. If you are not from ABUAD, please pass it on. 49% increase on the school fees is not a joking matter!!"Earlier this morning, I got this BC (above) but I didn't take it serious until I got different mails from them...here's one of the mails below:
Kemi am an avid reader of your blog and I know you are interested in making impacts in peoples lives, either by keeping us updated on various issues or just giving us a reason to smile and I really appreciate it.
Please I need your help on behalf of all Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD) students, we would like you to enlighten the society on the exploitation presently going on in my school.
When enrolling into the school we were told that after the initial enrollment fees we would only have to pay #750,000 for Law, but late last night I got the shock of the century just to find out that there has been a #500,000 increment for no valid reason, they added some of the money to our room and health expenses.
This is a school where when u apply for drugs worth #1,500 would always be denied; a student died this year of simple malaria ,we have no water, our walls are cracked, mucus everywhere, in the last semester we had up to 3 fire threats, the list is endless.
The school fees increment is a serious form of exploitation and this is done because they feel that the students don't have a voice or a say in the matter, but Kemi we are Nigerians with freedom of speech and right to fair hearing, please help us by being our voice, let people mount pressure on our founder Afe Babalola so that our parents can have rest of mind.
The money doesn't grow on tree, our parents work so hard to training us and we still have younger ones who need to go to school too...For instance Engineering and Law students paid N695,000 last semester but the new fee for this semester is N1,095,000, N695,000 for social and management college and sciences, N1, 200 000 for medicine students, some fees went from N755,000 to N 1,245,000 and so on....Kemi please just post something about our dilemma and help sustain our education. Thank you and God bless...
Some students are insisting that they will not resume until there is a reduction in the fees. I really hope this issue is looked into....
