Parents, students lament 500% increase of tuition fee at AAU, Ondo

Parents and students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State are kicking against increment of school fees by the state government.

The students’ tuition fees have been increased by 500%.

Returning students are now to pay N180,000 as tuition, a huge increase on the previous N30,000 fee.

State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, had approved the new fees in line with the recommendation of the Governing Council of the institution.

Monday, April 8, has been slated as the resumption date for the students, but the parents have lamented the exorbitant fees.

They had appealed to the government to intervene in the matter.

The school remained closed after the end of the 2017/ 2018 academic session in January following the inability of the government to conclude on the new fees.

A statement by the school’s governing council read in part: “In order to avoid any further delay in the school resumption, the new school fees for new and returning students have been approved.

“Students are advised to access AAUA registration portal to know the new school fees for their departments.

“However, the council has approved payment per semester for students who cannot afford to pay the full school fees at once.”

Some of the students who checked the school portal found that the new school fees, which varied from department to department, ranged from N120,000 to N180,000.
