The students are contesting the university’s decision to raise fees from a range of ₦26,000 to approximately ₦76,000, to a new range between ₦120,750 and ₦240,250, contingent on the specific course of study and academic level.

UNILAG has assured that it is actively engaging with stakeholders on this matter, including a scheduled meeting with the leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) on Thursday, September 14.

UNILAG’s official statement affirms, “Consequently, we acknowledge the cancellation of NANS’s planned protest for today, Wednesday, September 13, 2023, and we maintain confidence that our engagements will lead to issue resolution.”

The university’s management emphasizes the multiple measures in place to support students in light of this fee adjustment. They encourage both students and members of the university community to maintain composure and engage in their legitimate activities peacefully.
