Topic: School fees hike (Read 362 times)

Nigerian educational system is very high and not everyone in this country can afford to go school now as the school fees are gradually becoming unbearable for students and their guidance. The system of education and it's government is so fucked up, so for now I don't know if the common man or students can even afford school fees on these days. Things re getting harder day after day, and the worst of it about Nigerian educational system is the student can not do job and still work at same time, the classes time is not scheduled properly, but let's keep the education outside, what about our economy? The economy is also bad and things are also getting higher.

Nigeria cases it’s not a small issue,firstly our major problem is leadership,political system: the politicians. The don’t give the Nigeria education system focus on improvement and development.when even budget of 1.5 trillion naira is set for Nigeria for development there’s no check and balance of the account how the money is spent at all.this politicians don’t care because there student are sent outside the country to school and which is bad for us.with out considering the masses the just increase or inflate price of school without out caring out a survey and how the country and hardship is in the country.so Nigeria still need to go under seriou restructuring to be able to succeed and have to pass this trying times.

Weytin de really happen for the country? Cost of living wan kill the living, how things de spoiled set by set. I've come to the conclusion say, our beloved country, Nigeria don finally go and we go de experience back to back suffer and this government administration don make life hard for the common man. Students sef don de affected based on the increased in school fees, no b everybody get that sense to dey hold ground and working smart, those wey no fit go just remain behind because things de hard everyday.

I no even know how far about dat student loan matter, weda dem later approve am or not, because talk is cheap for dis country, dem go enter power and give us plenty promises and we go come get false hope, na implementations be di problem for di country. Di hardship wey people de face for di country no concern dem, and den no de happy say di children of di poor people de enter university to rub shoulders with dem children, and di only way to frustrate di poor students na to de hike school fees so e go de out of di reach of dem poor parents. Na only God, go help di poor masses for dis country.

Honestly, I don't really know what is happening in our country Nigeria. School fees matters is a very serious one that have to be look into by our government ooo. I wonder schools will be increasing school fees every year. How can people be paying#200,000 has school fees. Honestly I don't understand. And the point here is that, you will this big amount of money as school fees at the end one drunker will come to class and be teaching you nonsense say him de lecture. Most of the lecturer in the university can not even teach the students to understand. Even when you try to ask question the next thing is go home and read about it you will understand. When you as a lecturer teach the person never understand na when the person go home go read about it the person go understand. #200,000 school fees, still after exams a lecturer will tell you to pay money else you will fail his course. The financial load that most of our students are carrying today is too much. It can cause so many to be depressed and lost zee to go to school.  So many of your citizens have the dream of going to university but when they think about the fees involved, they became afraid. Especially thosed that their parents have no good source of income. Abeg make government look into this school fees matters because is getting worse every year by year.

This matter is very painful that the current government is not ready to easy the pains of it's citizens, it's already observed that the more the citizens cried the more they increase their pains. The school fees issue that has leads to many poor citizens drop out of school never border the government but another one of increasing light bills is their concerns as it will still affect the citizens more .

What our leaders forgot is that by the time you keep increasing pains and hardship to the citizens, the reverse is always unlimited crime rate.

One thing is always sure about cutting corners which ever means that is used a shirt cut us always a wrong cut, we uses nepotism and ethnicity to put away what is called democracy accepting kakistocracy as the best where the least among the best leads, we should not expect anything that sorrow and pains because it's who have you in heart the gives you listening ear.

I thought there was an approval for students loan that the government claimed to want to implement then, so what happened?
It is just sad how the youths gets to struggle for almost everything that are normally supposed to be a right and the government will still expect upon having a job to fund their coffers with taxes that they use to fund trips and vacations abroad.
Another annoying thing is the fact that the police don't even go by the law in trying to contain a riot or stop one from happening.

Does the Lagos state university not belong to the governing body of ASUU? Aren't fees supposed to not be more than a certain limit considering the economy of the nation?

Education is gradually loosing values in Nigeria. A lot of Naija youths are unable to afford school fees and this alone have discouraged lots of them.

What do you think you are saying? If the government in the federal level is taking proper action into this kind of things there won't be much increment of fess and things won't be going anyhow in school. If the university bodies whether a state, federal or private university, do not treat the lectures right then the lectures would be frustrated to take some actions by hitting up a strike. However, the strike has done nothing good at all. Their pensions are still being owed; monthly income still not paid. If it were you, it will be frustrating which the only way to meet up with life expenses then is to feed off from the student any way you can.

Although the rich can still afford to pay all of this and that is why not everyone is expected to go to the university. I can remember my lecturer would always say this thing; if you can't afford the fees in school then quit the school is not for you. What he meant is that instead of struggling in school when the school bodies would not want to pity any student then the student should quit because every staff in school are ready to extort as much they can from student without minding if they student can afford those things or not.

Waiting be this one abeg? Must we suffer every day of our life, as I see this news now na e make me Dey think say as them increase unilag own e go soon reach everybody, every school for Naija school fees must increase, our country matter come be like country wey Dey don swear for, why be say government this days no wan do something wey be say at the end na hell fire them go enter, to be honest I Dey see each president regime but this tinubu own Dey different, this tinubu regime be like say we are living the life of slave in our own country, every day of our life na so we Dey face problems.

Base on this news , to be honest this is too much and it will really affect many people, this price of this school fees is too high, this amount can be use to set up a business, and even use to make a land to build a house, but sha this is not the mr president fault, now it is high time we know how to choose a good leader, the unilag that the school fees was increased is in Lagos and the Lagos people are the one shouting around saying that JAGABAN must win the election, now he has win the election, now is the time to face the problem together.

This is a point to say even our professors are mentally unstable and doesn't portray that psychological and sociological perspective to build a well fairing society.
In some situations this course of increments of school fees is being manipulated by the professors including other stakeholders in the academic walls and not the federal government of Jagabam as maybe suspected.
It's most time be to create amenities where lecturers can rely on earnings during when the governments are being unable to pay them off their salaries. So logically they're extorting the students by irrelevant increments of fees while the school staffs are benefitted from it.

If such acts continues how would the situation be encouraged for a below average citizens to meet up with their academic dreams?
I think this particular act would get more youths in the streets involving on unnecessary activities because the educational infrastructures to breed potential and responsible citizens would be no more affordable.
Let's not even have this mentality that education is not the Only way and not really necessary. The truth is that the existence of education has potentials to crime rate control and also digresses on the necessity of reputations in ligns of civilized mental faculties.

Na true u talk so, I no just understand Naija, if u won understand am today, tomorrow u no go understand am, Naija just fluctuating like say na coin and e come be like say the cost of living dey increase everyday and the people wey suppose to help us dey cause more trouble. Some people don even give up for this country. We just need to do something different, but we no know wetin we go do. How dem go expect person wey no get job or good business to take care of him family wen be say food, rent, school fee and everything else don increase.

 I dey sure say we fit do something if we fit just comot our personal interest from the matter, come put the interest of Naija first although for this country na only God go just save us all if not people go die, Naija go jaga jaga and corruption go still dey increase more so even if the government no care about the property dem dey rule, e no mean say we no get get the things wey we want get but make we stand up for ourselves and our families and try get wetin we want even though everything dey hard, so one day e go better and na just na we believe say we fit make am.

This naija matter don tire everybody i swear as things just de cost everyday and the worse thing be say once the price of something don go up e de hard to come down and even if e come down na just small the price go drop. Omo if person no see money pay school fees na to find better trade learn oo even the school sef wey we de go work no sure after school and for this country now na money be koko. This kind amount wey dem dey demand like this person fit use the money learn work sef and if you add am up for 4 or 5 years you go see say no be small money oo.

School is good too cos we no know the miracle wey go happen and e de pain say work opportunity come but you no get the qualifications. The money is too much but if we go fit afford am make we just try go if not na to learn trade sure pass be dat as no be only people wey go school God de bless.

If I talk sey dis govment go worse pass Buhari own both in human rights abuse and economics e go bi like I dey cast dem. Those wey dey benefit directly from APC go think sey I dey attack dem. What do you expect when you allow a man wey get questionable character as president? What? Nothing good of course. Tinubu go worsen the situation with taxes and touting. Make we watch and see. I mark myself safe from all their shenanigans, anyway.

Let us be sincere with ourselves, from inception the government of this country does not have its citizens at heart, it is an unpatriotic act by the government to allow or mandate university heads to increase school fees at this moment when Nigerians barely feed 2times a day, it is very shameful, I think governance has to change hand, we should not expect favorable policies from clueless rulers, Nigeria as a country have a long way to go, our government do not imitate good things from other countries where education is seen as a preparation for the future theoretically and practically, some country give student loan to repay, when they graduate and get a job, but the criteria that enables Nigerian students to access the loan facility here, is discouraging, our government has to rethink before is too late.

Bro be4 dey like am as we poor dey go skul na becus dey believe say our eye go to open and there children no go get space again to cut the national cake as dey dey do am be4. Dey get any way to commut us form skul, na em dey use dis method increase di skul fees. As matter turn like this ba I dey advice everybody to go learn handwork to dey survive for this country because our leader no dey think about us at all, their cost of governance dey increase day by day becus dey dey cover di inflation wey dey occur everyday living us dey suffer. Make we shine our eyes becus even though we dey shut like tomorrow no dey, dey no go help us since their children no the among us.

Hahahaha, your man JAGABAN done already BAN nah, bro, that your N50, 00 self I know even sure say school uniform dey among ooo  , maybe before you go sow the school uniform buy hoods and sandals the money go done reach like N80k to N90k.
9ja nah correct please before oh but now I know sure say 9ja still correct again, Monday I dey my house they reason say if people way get money well well dey complain about this hardship, how e go be for those people way no get the money? Who they go carry their matter go tell, abi nah the government or them go just starve to death? So this matter tire me make I know lie.
This matter nah wathing go make pleanty students stop to dey go school but this our government them no dey reason am like that.

When education becomes more affordable, it allows more people to become educated, leading to development across all sectors of a country. It is concerning that the cost of education in Nigeria has become very high, preventing children from lower-class and poor families from pursuing their educational goals. It is important for the government to address this issue by subsidizing education and making it more accessible to all.

E no good ooh my brother, na just yesterday I go out say make I go put my baby of 1 year, 9 months for school, baby wey never dey talk, nai the school charge me #50,000 naira oooh, I open mouth say , wetin dey happen?, how a local private school go dey charge #50,000 naira for baby wey won enter preclass abi abi na preschool?  No be say na Kg or Nursery class yet, the matter just tire me honestly.

I remember when I dey secondary school, I attended one of the best Catholic secondary school for my town, boarding school for that matter, how much was my school fees then, just #4,000 naira pere.

Where our leaders take Nigeria dey go?, nai be the question wey I dey always ask myself this days, na to look on God ooh .

Jagaban is always in a haist immediately he was assigned iinto power,he removed fuel subsidy and he don't even care how the masses are surviving and still, School fees is  increasing,he do
n't want to know,what his  after
Is sharing palliative which is not good he is the president so he is expected to take care of the masses

I saw it coming.. it's no longer a new thing in Nigeria. Nigeria is now an object of mockery world wild. Did you expect him to do better than buhari? Lolz expect More. Revolution is calling all Nigerian on board, just like #endsars.

Until Nigerians youths decide to fight for their right as citizens of the country, we will never know peace. God can not come down on Earth to fight for us. The moment you realize that, the better for us. Since the electoral and judicial system failed and deprive us of our votes and right. We are left to no choice other than violence.

We claim religion thinking religion will fight for us. God uses people on Earth to accomplish his mission but who is ready. People whom God would have used to settle this problems had been bribed, and left us to no faith.

Action speak louder than voice. We always post thread that is related to nigeran problem, forgetting that posting article can not solve Nigerians problem. all what we need is to come together as one. If we can #ENDSARS we can as well #ENDBADGOVERNMENT.

With the way things hard like dis, him no suppose hike school fees now, people dey see shege before dem see there children send go school even as school fees never high. As him wan increase school fees, him suppose make sure say him put appropriate things In measures wey no go make people too suffer am, but the way people don dey suffer already, him come dey add to am, I dey sure say plenty people go dey wey go drop out due to say dem no get money to dey pay school fees. I just hope with time, things go better because currently things are getting worst and people dey see shege currently.

Jagaban too dey rush to do things, see d way him commot fuel subsidy also without providing appropriate measures to ease the hardship, since dey commot fuel subsidy, shege wey people dey see don increase again, some people dey even find am difficult to eat even once in a day not to even talk of eating three square meals in a day.

This kind of decision no good to made, this man call Jagaban he can never do what he suppose do, how them go increase students school fees when they know how they get things worst in the country for everybody, where dem want make the family of poor go get money from? They all know that if this kind of a thing happen na protest go take follow am, any small protest from this country will make some students to leave school, because no be every Parent fit afford that talkless the salary they are earning to come and pay that kind huge amount of school fees, this kind thing fit make some parents fit have high BP. If they have children that cannot be able to drop out from school, the parents will end up chasing the money parents are really trying

Last  I heard about this matter na be say the school fees hike go run across all federal university nation wide which is crazy because imagine a situation where someone is earning less than the amount he will use to feed his family and also train his children to school. We didn't expect much to happen with this present administration but no for things to get from worse to worst.

The thing is something else ooh, in this country education seem to be only for those that has money, even public school that was meant to be somehow affordable is now very hard because of school fees increment. Is actually sad to see how education is not really regarded by the government when education should have been something they would have really look into, to enable those that cannot afford to send there children on private school to easily enroll them on government school.

Our educational system is getting worst everyday where people find it difficult to go to school because of high cost of admission into high institutions, especially the poor an average man is really suffering from it. school fee's increments is a very big problems to so many students in our educational system.

Op this school fees hike matter no be small thing oo, even UNIJOS students sef don dey protest, how dem want make student cop with the hike in price wen transportation and feeding sef dey increase anyhow, abi naija wan do make na only the rich dey get educated?

True true this our government wan squeeze the small one the poor dey manage comot from our body oh, I no understand why them still dey interested in our small pocket money. Them say we are the leaders of tomorrow and me I no ready for that talk again becos no hope for that tomorrow as e stand now. If we pay 200k for sch fees wetin we wan take chop nah? Pesin papa get this kind money no be to use am go find small thing do? Well I no shock for this one becos as election finish them get ways to take collect wetin them lose. God help us oh, very soon them go say make student dey pay tasks.

This is serious. Na to leave school to learn trading or skills be that. This is not fair to the masses. Imagine where I was paying transport fair of 100 it's now 200 within 2weeks interval. Everyone has to work harder because to survive in this country, you will need multiple streams of income.

I feel that the increment is School fee isn't completely the government fault as the governing council of the university are the people who actually determine the school fee.

Based on our knowledge about subsidy, it is a direct or indirect payment from the government.

Assuming the government pays 70% as subsidy for a school fee of #150,000 (that is the government pays #105,000 out of #150,000) removal of subsidy means we have to pay the full #150,000 but if the governing council of the university decides to increase the fee from #150,000 to #300,000, students will be left in the dark and assume that this increment was as a result of the removal of subsidy not knowing that the governing council of the university as a hand in it

I no even know where this country is leading us to because to be sincere this is getting out of hand, e come mean say people wey no get money no go fit afford school fee again then wetting be the work of government and why are they in that office and why is the school fee of Federal University be high like this?

Although for northern side, the school fee never high like that but 200k Naira is much for undergraduate, the funny part is that even after the school, no guarantee job they outside they wait for u.

I have been experiencing bad government for a while but this administration is getting out of control, food, shelter, social amenities and other things we need are expensive and the government is not supporting again; insecurity come join them again ”For this country now, the cost of living wan kill the living”

Obob this matter get as e be. The school fees high well well and e nor make sense to increase school fees for this kind time wey the economy dey dance makosa. Government nor try for this one because na only them dey say them dey do one or two to make things easy for local man make the fuel subsidy wey them comot nor finish man but them still dey increase school fees. How them expect people to fit take afford am? Even the student loans wey them dey plan to start sef nor easy to get. I no go advice the students to protest, cos protest no dey go anywhere….make them reason with the school management to allow students write exam without paying school fees till clearance time. 

If person been tell us say, the next government go make us miss Buhari, most of us no for believe but, e don be the order of governance for this we nation. This na the one thing way we don Dey sure say, government Dey hand over and continue through their time in office.
Nigeria government just turn out yo be the type way be say, them no Dey continue on the past government better project because, them feel say the success of the project no go link back to them as the source but instead, them Dey like kick start there own new project and somehow, the suffer project Dey always Dey continued.

Where e bad here be say, our people no go still learn say, person way invest most chop dividend for en investment. After all the money way Tinubu use run election, you must ready for harsh policies because, en money no fit just waste like that.

Government way suppose Dey encourage education, them Dey acknowledge the poor state of things for the country and still, they make necessity like school fees unaffordable. Yet, e Dey propose loan accessible to pay grade far above minimum wage for country way more than half Dey live below that level. The country na for the strong shah, make we Dey try.

My big bros, you done talk well for this matter and make I no lie watin you talk nah true talk. If to say work dey, my brother things for no dey the way im dey, because, because of the no job issues (joblessness issue) nai make e com be like say things com worst for the youth, because how some body go go school finish e no go see better work? E too bad nah, and now way school fees con increase self, e con dey give plenty students double thought whader them go quit or them go continue because no money to pay school fees and even if them go the school finish no better job for them.
But as a naija way we be anyhow way the government run am we as a Nigerians we go survive.
For some countries as a student way dey go school, you still fit dey work, but for naija no be so, the government done Tite every Conner so that students go suffer and still them increase the school fees.

This is what the federal government wants to work towards, for universities to be able to generate money for themselves internally, or in a way the pressure on the federal government would be reduced. UNILAG is a federal government university and the fee they pay is far much more cheaper than state government schools. Despite that state government schools depends on state government, federal government students pay the lowest fee in the country. There is no way they will not depend on the federal government.

The schools that I know that are less dependent are paying high amount of money. I remember Lautech that went on a strike for a long time, they resumed for exam. After they finished the exam, the strike continued until the tuition fee was increased. That was many years ago. I do not know much about the school anymore.

Nigeria has one of the Universities that has one of the lowest tuition fee in the world, in a way that some tertiary schools in some states are free, while federal government universities are paying low amount in fee, followed by the state owned universities. The private schools are more expensive. Maybe it would have been better in a way that those that go to school may easily get job if the school fee is normal like other countries.

These rich men and politicians are threat to the poor people in Nigeria because they are worsening the situation of things in the country so that the poor man wouldn't be able to survive through the hardship and might not be able to train their children by giving them quality education. i have sat down and thought of it when Tinubu said that there will be removal of subsidy from school fees, this one make me para weller because na only school fit give poor man the opportunity to mingle with rich men and to also dey big office like rich men children. Now wey Tinubu don carry him own plans come to make the poor ones strive to live, imagine before poor man dey fit eat three two times but now na government won begin give poor people money to take survive wey no go reach them spend for three days. It sucks that the country is too big for these old cargos to lead due to their inefficiency lessen the hardship in the country.

Reason dey for this increase but I understand where the anger dey come from because assuming say work dey and dey increase this school fees students no go para much because dem fit work work wey go pay them well and them go pay their school fees by demselfs but work self no dey and the point of the increase no come make sense. Shey una dey see how much wey private sectors dem dey pay for school fees compared to wetin the government school dem dey pay and make we no forget say government dey carry too much load for their head wey dem need release because the government for the country no dey work. Assuming the government dey work, all this wahala no for dey happen. These universities dey generate so much revenue wey dem supposed fit dey handle demselfs but still dey dey depend on the government support.


Leave the police matta dat one na another topics on e own because our uniform men for this country dey fuck up but this protest sumthin, we too dey overdo. We know say we dey country wey law no dey yet we go dey overdo the protest thing and dey give this men reason to dey abuse us. The way I dey see this thing na say government wan commot hand for everything wey make the school ey generate funds to handle demselfs because weda we like am or not education is now becoming a business in the country and dem dey find way wey e go dey profitable. Me I no like the increase but if we really want change for the country, we need to dey try other alternative dem and not doing exactly what we have been doing before and yet we dey expect the change wey we dey cry about, the increase sha too big make I no lie.

For that same Lagos state, na im dem dey harass and beat up voters wey don see the thing wey dis Tinubu go do because dem wan vote against him. If we look very well self we go see some of the lasu Muslim bigots wey follow dey harass people wey no wan vote APC/TINUBU. Yes many Muslim feel say instead wey Christian go become president say make Tinubu dey there and dem rig him enter, today na who the thing affect go dey bear am. Tinubu na tax wey him sabi, na to increase standard of living and not to improve it na him im sabi. Shabi him be governor during Obasanjo when dem two get problem and obj seize Lagos state allowance, no be IGR him take rule? Agbero begin full everywhere for Lagos. Omo na to wait for supreme court or next election to see if remedy go come. Bag of rice now don dey fly like Ethiopian airline.

This does not really come as a surprise to me because the price of everything in the country have increased following the poorly planned subsidy removal. While I see the increase in school as outrageous, there was need to actually adjust the school fees if the school are to meet up with running the system.

What I rather find so strange is Federal schools increasing school fees to multiples of what it used to be considering the fact that they are being funded by the government and the staff under the payroll of the government. Well, I will not forget that everyone is looking for a way to take advantage of the systems since our institutions, that are supposed to checkmated them, are practically sleeping.

At this price, there is little difference between public schools and private schools and if you ask me, I prefer the later considering the infrastructures and learning environment that is like world apart.

this matter done tire me well well. everything in this new government just dey go left Left. nothing wah this government done do, wah favor the citizens. from the first day wah they come, plenty this done go wrong already. since things are hard in the country, we're can some parents see such amount of money to pay there children school feels. already, one of my friend done tell me say him wah withdraw from school for now. e get something wah me been talk before, I say may our country no miss our before PRESIDO BUBU. and now we are missing him already.
I come dey ask our country people, which way forward.

There is economy hardship everywhere but you see the reality of this, people will still pay even if they protest from now to tomorrow because protest hardly bring leaders to succumb anytime people complain in this country. Na the koko wey dy happen for Naija be this because I remember then when we sef go protest for school make things better only for some snitch to go do another thing behind out back.

Make we check mate this increase school fees wey dy propose and the economy. Things are hard everywhere and everything don cost, the cost of maintenance and new projects, to be able to meet up with the standard of things, they have to really increase the fees because make I no lie you, government no too send education for this country, na one of the reason why ASUU dy fight for student even if we know say them say get for body.

But I know sure if this is proposed or already finalized amount. I don't know for other universities because my school then, when the school propose a school fees, the SUG will review what the senate bring to the table, they will come back and do their own meeting and then come as one and give their own stand and go back to the senate again. They will continue to deliberate on the price until they reach on agreed price that will be suitable for everyone and if the school don't want to be considerate, then SUG has the right to protest under the supervision of police and civil defense to avoid hoodlums from hijacking and turning it to riot. The school will have to agree with the SUG but I'm not sure if the same is happening in Uni Lag.

Dis matter no be small one oo. The school fees price hike go really affect dem d students wey dey school most especially d parents wey dey pay their school fees. With dis kind harsh economy, to increase school fees prove an d wrong tin to do now. Dem dey talk about palliatives everyday bcos of dis fuel hike, instead wey dem go share money or food for d masses, wey we know say most people go steal am go house wey dey in charge. E beta make dem subsidise d price of all dis school fees for d parents to also feel relieve. Naija, our country just dey wan kind state wey person no fit explain again. Make all dis hardship wey we dey face just turn enjoyment for us later na im b d prayers now.

My fellow Nigerians una good day SIRs and MAs, I come with one matter way they worry all the students for 9ja, this matter don rise but e com worst as this man way them they call am JAGABAN become the president.
The thing be say school fees done increase to the level way be say some students way their parents no get money, them done quit school because no money to afford the school fees.
As I never see any discussion about this school fees matter nai make me raise the alarm, because plenty of us nah 9ja students, abi we no hear say 2 days ago protest happen for the university of LAG (Lagos State University)? This one nah the unilag protest link, and the worst part of the matter be say even the police men beat up students.
Students they vex how this man go just come one day increase school fees reach the amount of money way e reach to buy some piece of land for some local areas, abi e good like that?
