A rumour has been making rounds all over the internet and on media that about 38 schools have increased their school fees. 

So far, the management of some of the schools that were said to be among the 38 schools rumoured to have increased their school fees have released public notices debunking the rumours and advising students and aspirants to disregard such rumours.

A special notice released by the management of University of Lagos (UNILAG), reads, "The management of the University of Lagos has noticed a message currently trending in the print, electronic and social media about a dramatic increase in tuition fees in the University of Lagos.

Management wishes to assure you and your parents/guardians that there is no such increase in tuition fees.

Students are therefore advised to disregard the rumour."

Similarly, the management of University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has released a notice that reads thus, "The attention of the management of the University of Ilorin has been drawn to news reports in some newspapers today listing University of Ilorin among 38 universities that have increased their school fees.

We want to state categorically that there is no iota of truth in the report. The university's management has never met to decide on any fees increase because we are still running the 2016/2017 academic session. 

And in any case, UNILORIN, being a federal government institution doesn't charge tuition fees, as tuition is free in public universities. The little charges we collect are for utilities and not for tuition.

So, that report was meant to cause unnecessary panic among Nigerian parents."

Students are therefore advised to disregard any rumour on increase of school fees as the rumour is not true

Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for admission into a two-year HND Programmes of the Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic for the 2017/2018 academic session.

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has advised GCE candidates to endeavour to collect their certificates within four years of writing the examination as any delay beyond that will henceforth attract a custody fee.

This was disclosed by Demianus Ojijeogu, the Head of Public Affairs Department, WAEC, Nigeria during a phone interview with journalists

According to him, “ the normal charge for the certificate is N3, 500 and only payable by those whose certificates were issued between zero and four years.

“But from five to nine years is N8, 500; 10 to 14 years N13, 500; 15 to 19 years N18, 500 while 20 years and above will be charged N23, 500.

“These charges are (for) custody fee; for keeping the certificates for so long because it occupies space in our office. It will also serve as a deterrent to others.
“ I don’t know the reason why people will sit for exams and their certificates are ready yet they will not come for collection. What was the essence of the certificate in the first place?’’

He also said that requirements for collection of the GCE certificates within Nigeria were an application letter, sworn affidavit from the High Court, online result print- out, one passport-size photograph, photo card and identity card.

The Management of Kwara State University, Malete, (KWASU) has released the first batch list of candidates admitted into the undergraduate full-time students for the 2017/2018 academic session.

Some experts argue that there is no such thing as most difficult university to get admission into. Admission into any institution, they believe, may be easy or hard depending on the level of preparation on the side of applicants. This school of thought may be true elsewhere, but not in Nigeria. Down here, it is cheap to gain admission into some schools compared to a few others.
