• Omolola Bowoto, a Nigerian lady doing her master's program at the University of Essex, England, has cried out for help
• The second-year social work scholar would be at risk of withdrawal from the school if she isn't able to pay her tuition of £20,700 (over N23.7 million)
• Bowoto said she had raised £5,300 (N6 million) and needed to pay up the balance of £15,400 (N17.6 million)

A female student has set up a GoFundMe to offset her outstanding tuition abroad as she is on the verge of being withdrawn from the University of Essex, England.

In a TikTok video, Omolola revealed that she was in her second year and five months away from graduating.

Lola added that she may lose everything she worked for if her admission is withdrawn.

Omolola shares what limited her funding source

Via her GoFundMe page, Omolola said the devaluation of the naira and family challenges affected her family's finances. She wrote:

"...Due to the devaluation of naira and family financial challenge it has limited me having enough to fund my tuition and is disheartening to find myself in this position but I am still strong-willed to complete my studies.

"I humbly ask for your support in any way you can provide – whether it's a financial contribution, sharing this campaign with your network, or offering words of encouragement. Every bit makes a significant difference, and I am grateful for any assistance you can offer."

How much does Omolola for her tuition?

While noting that she has been able to raise £5,300 (N6 million) on her own, Omolola revealed £15, 400 (N17.6 million) is still needed to complete the outstanding tuition.

The students, Omolade Olaitan, Emmanuel Okohoboh, and Paulette Ojogun, paid their school fees a few hours later than expected.

They have explained to the school that their school fees came late as a result of the cash crunch that hit Nigeria earlier in 2023.

Swansea University, UK, has, however, turned deaf ears and held on to the N3.8 million (4000 pounds) school fees while asking the students to pack their bags and go home.
