The management of the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, has denied reports making the rounds that the institution had increased its fees.

According to a source, the reports had caused confusion among the students of the institution, who are preparing for a new session.

The institution described the reports as untrue and mischievous, saying there was no plan by the university to increase the fees.

The Governing Council of the institution, headed by Dr. Tunji Abayomi had increased its fees in 2018 from N27, 000 to N100,000 and above.

In a statement issued by the Registrar of the institution, Dr. Michael Ayerun and made available to The Hope  the university called on the parents and the students to disregard the report.

The statement read in part, ” The attention  of the  university management  had been  drawn to  the  rumour being  circulated  on  social media  to the effect  that  the Adekunle Ajasin University  Akungba  Akoko had  increased  its school  fees .

” The university  is hereby  using  this  medium to inform  our highly  esteemed  students, parents,  guardians  and  the entire  public  that  it  did not increase or propose to  increase  its school  fees.

“ In other  words, the school  fees  regime of last academic  session  (2017/2018) still subsists in 2018/2019 Academic Session. As such students are  to  pay  the  fees  they paid  last academic  session  for the 2018/2019 Academic Session.”
