They are to spend about a month or more than that on campus for their examination, and they will be staying at the school hostels throughout their examination period.
The student leader disclosed that the management had called a meeting of student leaders of each faculty in UNILAG and announced their intention to increase the school fees and that the DLI students would pay N20,000 as electricity bills while staying on campus.
Will UNILAG increase its school fees?
According to the source:
"The incoming students, the DLI students, will be paying N20,000 as electricity bill, which, unlike before, was not something that used to happen. So, you can tell that they are just waiting for the new academic session, and they will start the implementation."
The development is coming at a time when President Bola Tinubu signed the student loan bill into law. Some federal universities have recently announced tuition fee increments to generate more funding for themselves.
Student loan: OAU, UNILAG, other universities that may increase their tuition
Legit.ng earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu signed the student loan bill into an act in his second week in office. This will allow students to apply for loans to pay their school fees.
The development came when the Nigerian president announced the removal of the fuel subsidy and stopped the multiple exchange rate of the country's currency to the dollar.
