The university of Ilorin management has finally made a 35% increment on university charge against the original 48.4% increment intended.

This was stated by the dean students' Affairs unit, Prof Tajudeen Ajibade on a radio program anchored by Olatunji Agboola and Aloma Idris of Unilorin FM, 89.3 on Tuesday morning at the university radio station.

The decrease resulted from a resolution meeting of the SU with the management yesterday. The meeting which had in attendance principal officials of the university, the Students' Union executives, faculty Presidents and members of the Press, lasted over 5 hours. At the meeting the SU pleaded for a reduction in the increment and a promise was made to review the university's decision by giving a reduction in hike.

The Students' Union President, Comr Emmanuel Animashaun who was also on air along side the Dean, however, told the UCJ over a phone interview that deliberation with faculty Presidents is still on going for a possible reduction in their respective faculty charges.

The 35% increment of the charge amounts to 21,195 naira with a 5,495 naira difference from the previous academic session.

*Meets Students' Union on 'reasonable concession'

*SU proposes 15% increment as Mgt promises possible reduction


The university of Ilorin management has on Monday cleared the air on the increment of the school charges saying the increment is only 48.4% as against the general conception of 100% and above. The management further explained what necessitated the increment.

The clarifications were made in a marathon meeting which lasted for about 6 hours with the representatives of the students' Union, the presidents of the faculties, the students' affairs units of the University and with other stakeholders in the school.

The meeting had in attendance, the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Academics, Prof (Mrs) Malomo, the DVC Management who couples as Vice Chancellor representative Prof B.T Sule; The school Bursar, Mr Sunde; the Director of Corporate Affairs Commission, Mr Kunle Akogun alongside Prof (Mrs) Oladosu who represented the university registrar.

According to the DVC Academics, The management noted that even though the reaction of the SU was in order and that the university, as well, apologised for not involving the Union early enough, but the erroneous impression that the Union has created must be duly corrected.

In her clarifications, The DVC stated the new fee is only 23,700 for the returning students and 41, 600 for the new intakes. These inclusive of bandwidth and utilities charges which as at last session were charged separately.

As such, she stated that the university only increased the school charges by 48.4% which is 7300. As a breakdown: the charge which consists of about 17 items stands at 17,600; bandwidth at 5000 and utilities stands at 700, totalling 23, 300.

Prof Malomo then stated things that necessitated the decision by the management. According to her "as result of reduction in the federal government reimbursement for the university running cost on recurrent expenditure and the consideration on the financial realities on ground, it's imperative that the university management made adjustment in the charges."

"we don't do it arbitrarily, economic realities are put in consideration for instance, university expends about 300 to 360million naira on electricity not inclusive of generator maintenance which itself gulps about 50million on monthly basis."

"If management don't pay for electricity...and others, it's the students that will be the most uncomfortable so we must pay"

In the view of her clarifications, the Students' Union proposed a reduction of the increment to 15% which the management swiftly responded as "not being realistic".

The management however maintained, according to Prof B. F Sule, "We are going to review it, that's for sure!"

Moreso, on the issue of faculties and Departmental charges, Prof Malomo said the faculty and Departmental charges are "dependants on programme"

She suggested that for any negotiation on the increment, the students should "go to their faculty Deans "same to the departments"

The Student Affairs Unit of the university of Ilorin in a recent release made available to the UCJ has commended the efforts of the Students Union in their reaction towards the hike in school fees.

The Unit further noted that it is expected of the students to react towards such even if a naira is added. The Unit has however called for a resolution meeting between Union leaders and faculty Presidents on Monday.

The Press Release reads:

"RE: SAY NO TO INCREMENT/HIKE IN UNILORIN SCHOOL FEES

We have read, not with any iota of surprise, the reactions of unilorites and of course, that of the Student Union in a statement jointly signed by Mr.President and Union PRO on recent fees for 2018/2019 Academic Session.

The courage shown in the content is commendable of Union leaders. However, this statement is for education of our teaming students and its leadership on what culminate in such decision...We must all be positive and see beyond "as it was, so shall it be forever" thinking..Expectedly, even  if #1 was added, there will be reaction..The question is how justifiable is the reaction in the face of present realities in providing qualitative university education with needed facilities that guarantee such.

For the purpose of record,  the university as a matter federal govt policy is not charging tuition fees as erroneous captured in the Union statement..What you have here is university charges and faculty charges..The items that makes up the charges are simply fundamental and basic. For instance, examinations remains sacrosanct,  same for provison of state-of-the-art health and library facilities..In addition to stable electricity in an ever expanding University community. It implies what is obtainable about 12years ago can no longer sustain the University in this century.

Across board, we can confidently tell you that Unilorin, even with slight adjustment in fees payable is still paying the least in this nation..Idea thing to do is to please confirm by comparing statistics of what is payable in other universities..This however does not foreclosed negotiation between the Union and University management for reasonable concession. Presently, the Student Affairs Unit is consulting for possible reduction..Hence, by tomorrow, Monday, November 5,  2018, there will be a meeting with leadership of the Student Union, Faculty Presidents and UCJ by 10am at the SAU office.

While the Union release is timely and well worded,  the truth must be told that the Union went beyond its boundary by ordering students no to pay..That's insubordination and dabbling carelessly into university's administrator matter particularly on policy matter..If as a student,  you have to set your charges, then who owns power to teach and set examination questions? Which course to be Required, Compulsory or optional?  It is logical to fight but with boundaries not crossed.

We shall open our doors for sound minded negotiation as proposed in the Union statement but not to compromise ethical issues in university of limit of Student Union in critical issues.

We salute your courage and welcome open minded interactions.

Student Affairs -UNILORIN"



It however noted that the Union went beyond its boundaries by asking Students not to pay.

President of the Students' Union, Animashaun Emmanuel has on Saturday, 3rd November, 2018 in a press briefing with the UCJ stated that the Student Union is averse to the hike of the tuition fee by the University management.

The PRO of the SU, Analyzer has cleared the air on reports suggesting that the anticipated SU programme tagged 'The Convergence' has been canceled. He asserted that the programme had only been rescheduled following the withdrawal of its budget from the Senate council and not canceled as suggested by earlier reports.

As swiftly as it could take, the students union of university of Ilorin has directed all the students in the University to hold on with the payment of the increased fees. This directive is coming almost tree hours after the Union's president, Comr. Animashun announced via his Twitter handle a meeting with all the faculty presidents would be held to ratify a consensus decision, and that afterwards a meeting with the management would be held.

In a press statement released moment ago by the Union signed by the Union's PRO, Mr Issa Uthman Analyzer, the Union states that students should not pay until an action is taken regarding the increment.


Although no official communication has been established about the SU-Management meeting, but things look 'Not-so-good'.

The Press release reads;

SU PRESS RELEASE:

Greatest Unilorites,

ON THE OUTRAGEOUS INCREMENTS IN SCHOOL FEES

I am compelled beyond reasonable doubt to speak out and take a stand against what could be described as attack on our common sense and right to due consideration in all matters that touches on our well-being and welfare as students of this great institution.

Our tolerance level was punched and almost taken for granted by recent release of school fees for 2018/2019 academic session. The increment ranges from 10000 to 17500 depending on programme/faculty. It  is not only outrageous but absurd given the present economic situation of this country.

Many are self sponsored while majority of us are from parents in States where salaries are not paid either regularly or at all for months!
Where then are we expected to get the fees from? At what time are we suppose to adjust our budget for the session? Who is to pay for us? are questions bothering my mind. In simple term, I consider it as April fool and the University authority should be commended for millennium joke. We shall resist this to get reasonable concession.

Of course,  we are stakeholders with strong belief in the University dream. The VC and his team should know better that our sacrifices should be rewarded rather than increasing the suffering packages we have endured for long. Currently, the SU Officials are working hand in hand with the faculty presidents to analyse the situation and make a comprehensive plan.

Hence, NO STUDENTS SHOULD PAY! We shall call for meeting with the  management for intellectual discourse.
 We are not rascals but our approach shall be that of radical and sound minded fellows. We shall seek peace in resolving matter.

Members of our great Union should remain calm till you hear from us. I can confidently affirm that Aluta Continua, Victory Ascerta

We shall invest in our people by resisting this hike in fees doggedly,

"My school fee is increased by more than 100%. Where do I get that?" A student complained.

The Students' Union President, Comr. Animashaun through his Twitter account has assured the students of a swift action by the Union. He noted that Presidents of faculties have been summoned and after a meeting with them, the SU will proceed to the school management. He urged the students to be calmed and be hopeful of a positive response.

Barring  further deliberations and changes in the resolution made by  the Senate council, the highly  publicised Students' Union programme themed 'Convergence' has been cancelled.

Although there have been counterclaims about the cancelation, as at the time of filing this report all efforts to affirm the news that the programme was not canceled proved abortive.

The notion was given at the maiden plenary of the Senate council held today, 30th of October on the school campus.

The Senate council received a letter from the office of the Public relations officer, PRO of the executive council informing the Senate council of the withdrawal of the earlier submitted budget for the programme. The reasons for the withdrawal were however not stated in the letter.

Reactions trailled the action by the executive arm of the union as the Senate council unanimously upheld the notion that the programme has  been cancelled.

The Senate president, Senator Nifemi however informed the gathering that the consideration for the executive's request should only be given out of the magnanimity of the council as there is no portion of the Constitution that supports withdrawal of an already submitted budget proposal for any students' union programme.

In a bid to get a legal basis for the withdrawal, the Senate president threw to the floor a motion for its consideration, and this was unanimously agreed to by the whole house; thus the cancellation of the said programme was legally pronounced.

In the process of constituting FIEC, FOSSSA Independent Electoral Commission, an uproar stemed out from the association.

FIEC which is expected to have all faculties represented, surprisingly had a hand full of the departments constitute the electoral commission. As issue of impersonation,  politicking and constitutional negligence were leaked.

A representative from the department of psychology was accused of impersonating. According to report gathered, the impersonator was said to have been nominated by the clerk of the house. But when asked, the clerk asserted that she was not aware that among her nominees was an impostor, stating that she didn't directly nominate FIEC representative from her faculty.

According to her, she instructed that all names be collated based on approval, before been forwarded.

After a thorough session, the impostor was dismissed and one out of two nominee from the department of psychology was left.

The speaker suggested a nominee from criminology be withdrawn, for been an 100l student, and be replaced by another but he was declined.

Hon. Ola, an SRC member of the faculty, read out the clause of the constitution which state that, a FIEC member must be one who haven't held any political post.  He further revealed that a representative from psychology holds a position in his department, this saw the department of psychology not been represented.

Com. Deji suggested that the formation of FIEC should be postponed till the next day for proper representation.

The President, Kelvin, also pleaded that the congress be shifted so all departments can be duly represented, but he was objected.

The speaker submitted that if any anything go wrong he wouldn't be accountable, since it is the decision of the majority.

Here are the list of sworn in fiec representatives:

Akinlaso Nasirudeen Femi...geography (chairman)

Nasri Rotimi M... Social works(general secretary)

Lawal Olajuwon Mustapha... Political science (P. R. O)

Adeoti Sheriffdeen... Economics

Aremu Adams Adebisi... Economics

The Faculty of Social Science Students Association, has dismissed an honorable and has also nullified the resignation letter sent by another honorable in a congress held on 2nd July 2018.

Hon. Detola from department of sociology and honourable Aisha were victim

According to the honourables, an agreement has been reached that whoever is absent from congress for a stipulated time consecutively will be a victim of dismissal, of which Hon. Detola was found guilty.

According to the message gotten from Hon. Detola, the reason for been absent for four consecutive time, has been as a result of the fact that he needed to attend to something very crucial as failure to do so would affect him psychologically.

A suggestion of #1000  fine was proposed to cover for his absenteeism, but was countered by the house.

Hon. Ola suggested that the reasons he gave was not genuine besides if honourables from psychology can be dismissed for impersonation, nothing should stop Hon. Detola's dismissal. He urged the speaker to be fair with his judgement. As the speaker pleaded leniency, emphasizing that both cases impersonation and absenteeism cannot be compared.

The dismissal was subjected to voting and moderated by the Chief Whip, of which majority voted in support that he should be dismissed, prompting the speaker to declare his dismissal.

Also at the sitting, the Clerk read and presented a letter of resignation from Hon. Aisha on the floor of the house, for the purpose of pursuing another at the student representative council.

Hon. Sanni revealed that the letter has no date and possesses no element of formalty.  He therefore propose that she write another letter.

However, Hon. Ola proposed that it's of no use writing another letter since she has started her campaign. He therefore suggested, by adopting the Student Union constitution that she be removed.

The house however left the case pending as it was suggested that the Student Union compendium be brought before the house and properly examined so identification of the clause in line with her situation can be adopted.
