The university of Lagos,Akoka,Yaba Lagos has increased it’s tuition fees from N19, 000 to N190,000 depending on the faculty or course of study beginning from the 2023/2024 Academic Session.
A late Friday statement from the institution hinged the move on what it described as the “prevailing economic realities”.
“After careful deliberations with its stakeholders (students, parents/guardians, staff unions, alumni among others), the University of Lagos (UNILAG) Management has reviewed the obligatory fees (mandatory charges for an academic session/year) of new and returning undergraduate students of the University,” the school explained.
“The adjustment in fees which will take effect from the 1st Semester, 2023/2024 Academic Session, is in view of the prevailing economic realities and the need for the University to be able to meet its obligations to its students, staff, and municipal service providers among others.
“It is also pertinent to note that the University has not increased its obligatory fees in recent years. Management, therefore, seeks the kind understanding and support of students and other stakeholders with the assurance of its commitment towards ensuring that students get the best learning experience”.
A breakdown of the new arrangement says students without lab and studio use will pay N100,750, those with lab use will pay N140,250, and college of medicine would pay N190,250,”
