The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has debunked rumour of an alleged increase in tuition fee beyond the widely publicised increase announced in July.
The university said the rumour was aimed at misinforming the public.
A statement signed by the Head, Communication Unit, Mrs Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem said: “The management is not unmindful of the prevailing economic realities and, as of the date of this disclaimer, has not issued any other notice of increment apart from the “Adjusted Obligatory Fees for New and Returning Undergraduate Students” published in its Information Flash News Bulletin (Vol. MMXXIII, No. 80) and official website on Friday, July 21, 2023.”
“The university management understands the importance of accurate, verifiable and timely information, and views with utmost concern the attempt to spread false narratives that undermine its integrity.
“Members of the university community and general public, especially students and their families are therefore implored to rely on the official communication channels of the university for announcements, notice, or update regarding fees, policies or any other information relating to the university.
“Please be assured of the university’s dedication to uphold its mandate and commitment to ensuring that students get the best learning experience.”
