We Did Not Increase Our Already-Increased Fees, Ignore The Rumor – UNILAG

The University of Lagos has come out to debunk the claim that the institution has added extra charges to its earlier increased tuition fees.

The Head of the communication Unit, Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem recently revealed this via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to her, the information making the rounds that the University has added additional unauthorized charges to its earlier increments is untrue, so members of the public should ignore it.

Adejoke added that the institution did not issue any other notice of increment apart from the Adjusted Obligatory Fees for New and Returning Undergraduate Students.

It read, “The University of Lagos wishes to explicitly refute unsubstantiated claims making the rounds that the University has “slammed additional unauthorised charges to its earlier increments.

These completely untrue and misleading claims misrepresent the facts and aim to misinform the public into believing that there has been another adjustment of fees.

For the avoidance of doubt, the University of Lagos Management hereby categorically states that this is not the case.

Management is not unmindful of the prevailing economic realities, and as of the date of this disclaimer, has not issued any other notice of increment apart from the “Adjusted Obligatory Fees for New and Returning Undergraduate Students” published in its Information Flash News Bulletin.

The University Management understands the importance of accurate, verifiable and timely information, and views with utmost concern the attempt to spread false narratives that undermine its integrity.

Members of the university community and general public, especially students and their families are, therefore, implored to rely on the official communication channels of the University for announcements, notice, or updates regarding fees, policies, or any other information relating to the University.”
