The increment in the acceptance fee for newly-admitted students into the University of Ibadan (UI) in Oyo state by the school management has generated numerous reactions. Parents have complained bitterly about the increment as they see no justification for such decision, the Guardian reported.
On its website, the school disclosed that each student is to pay N50,000 as the acceptance fee. The statement partially read: “Candidates who have been offered provisional admission and have generated their admission letters on CAPS are hereby advised to proceed with the payment of a non-refundable Acceptance Fee of N50,000 only.”
Speaking to the Guardian about the increment, a parent, who is also a lecturer at the University of Ibadan, said: “It is serious. I have to pay an acceptance fee of N50,000 for my child.” Adejoke Akinpelu, the principal assistant registrar and public relations officer of the Directorate of Public Communication, confirmed the hike and said only the registrar could speak on reasons the management came up with the increment.
