Education Rights Campaign Demands Reversal of UI's Drastic Fee Hike
The Education Rights Campaign (ERC) has condemned the University of Ibadan's (UI) recent decision to increase tuition fees for the 2023/2024 academic session. The new fees, ranging from ₦230,000 to ₦412,000, represent a staggering 453% to 750% increase from the previous session's fees of ₦64,600 to ₦69,600 .
ERC describes the hike as "callous, unjustifiable, and anti-poor," highlighting that previous fee increases have not led to improvements in students' learning and living conditions. The group also criticizes the Students' Union's approach to the issue, urging for a more democratic and inclusive response from student leadership .
In response to the administration's actions, ERC has called for mass mobilization and peaceful protests to pressure the university management to reverse the fee hike. The group emphasizes the importance of student unity and collective action in defending the right to affordable education.
This development has sparked widespread discussions about the accessibility of higher education in Nigeria and the need for policies that prioritize students' welfare.
